Stu's 240 build thread.

[Stupidsreef]

First I'd like to correct one thing. My tank is called a 240 gallon but if you do the math it's more like 225, so I refer to it as a 225 gallon.

I hate to do this, But I started out over @ RC ( Reef Central ) and that's where my Build thread is at. Rather than try to copy and paste every page I'll provide a link here:

As I update I'll post the pic's here too.

If this is not allowed please let me know. I understand and will ask that it be removed.

as much as we love to rag on RC it is quite alright that you posted the link, and the build looks good

[Stupidsreef]

Yea, I'm not a fan of RC. That's why I'm over here now, getting tired of the BS over there.

Anyway here are the most rent pics of my tank. Taken this week by D.french.

The next pic is a yellow Tang that an ex-reefer--ex-friend bought after told not to for another friend who ask if I would hold it until he was ready.




In this pic is the yellow tang and a tiny baby Niger Trigger. Both fish were bought by a dumb-ass and I ended up with them. The trigger died as I told the fool who bought it that it would. It was too small and ended up stuck in my overflow set-up.

This is a pic of my Coral Banded Shrimp.



This is a pic of my Wife's purple Acan. She had to have it. We had it now for 2 years.





This is a pic of my frogspawn. It was a frag 2 years ago from a friend.



And a clam my wife bought 2 years ago.



My GSMC I bought him 2 years ago for $14 at one of our LFS. He was about an inch in size.

Welcome Stupid![I'm going to love saying your username in future thread.]

I know how you feel with macroalgae going asexual.I'm sure you'll be back to your past glory.BTW,what is the green thing on the back/top right side,GSP?

[d2mini]

Stupid is as Stupid does! lol, sorry.

Hey, question about that frag rack. Is it up at the top of the tank? Not too close to the lights for some frags? How long do you leave them there?

I've had to work hard for that username, & I'll fight for it to

The macroalgea was last year & part of early this year. I got rid of it and I'm back now.

And Yes that is GSP!! I put a small piece of it up there to cover the black color of the overflow. Rather than look at it I figured the GSP would be cool. I love it, it moves with the water flow and is eye catching. Thanks for noticing it!!
