Geeze, what way is it too short?

Shame about the light being chipped as well :(

I levelled my tank, I went to Clarke rubber and got strips of high density rubber in different thicknesses but the width of the stand and used those.

I had to raise mine somewhat because I was putting it on thick carpet but still wanted to open the doors, otherwise it just sinks in.

But yeah tank is going good fish are all happy. I have been slack with maintainence so need to put a bit of time in getting it nicer for Christmas Day but you get that.

How is the little bub? How far off is the replacement gear?

Hey ads, where did you get the Giesemann chiller, think I just lost a coral becuase my system reached 90F, looks wilted and deflated :(

I like the look of your chiller and intend to =have it outside of the chiller compartment of my RSM so I can use that for a Refugium/QT

Sorry for the slow response ... so it turns out there was a small part missing so that the glass slots into the metal frame properly (phew) - David had some in his office and is sending those up. They are going to send out a new part of the light from Italy to replace the chip but in the mean time I am going to use the light as is...
Getting my floor fixed on Monday and then 2nd go at installing next Saturday woo hoo ... man it is one beautiful tank - I have been quite happy to have it empty and admire it as is
My baby girl is growing up so quickly and is gorgeous - thanks for asking... I look forward to seeing some more pictures of your tank :)

Tank looks even more amazing in person, photos come close but still do not do it the justice it deserves! :D







having said that - c'mon man latest FTS :p

 

[leodb89]

I think I know why ads is hesitant of taking a FTS until his zeo order arrives lol but tbh the look of the sand bed actually makes the tank look good kinda like a natural look ;) should never have sold me those strombs

Hehehe I thought this mess would be more confusing than the elos instructions. Having said that I did find their instructions lacking. When you end up with a small bit of pipe cut on a angle left and going wtf is this for. It can be a bit frustrating.

It will come, as others have pointed out there is a massive cyno problem that kicked in when the zeo start ran out. I have heard Aussie has now got some so hopefully it doesn't take too long to get back on track.

I grabbed a litre this time so at least I should be stocked up for a year.

Josh helped by grabbing me some water the other day. Water changes have also been put on hold while the back hard Reno has been underway
