Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

I went to my local frag auction yesterday. Picked up an orange ricordea for $5, a frag of pink and orange zoas for $3 and a two inch piece of hydnophora for $3!!! This is really the only way to shop when you're broke like me :). I offered to host one of the next meetings, so I'll have to get my set up in tip top shape. NoobDeBiff and I went to Lowe's last night and bought some wood to build a shelter for my skimmer (which, right now, sits right next to my tank). The shelter will hide the skimmer and give me shelf space. I'll start building it today!

For all of you who are aware of my DIY aptitude (or lack thereof), this should be fun...

Biff if you used nice plywood you could use it as a stand for the nano, just a thought. Cool deal getting involved with your local club. Thats something we should all do!

 

[Bifferwine]

I can't use it as a stand because I have to be able to move it out. The skimmer is between the wall and the tank, so I'll have to be able to move the shelter to do maintenance on the skimmer.

 

[RyanG]

Well that shoots my good idea for the day in the foot! How about some house plants? They would love all of the extra light.

biff I think you find the best deals on the planet somehow. $100 for your tank and now $3 corals!

 

[Alexander]

[Alexander]

and i have been very patient. but i cant take it anymore

 

[Bifferwine]

Yessir. Today I head to the hardware store for super glue and epoxy to mount all the corals that have fallen off in the last month.

 

[Alexander]

good deal, I'm just getting a lot of heat from jack. he said be needs some more pics.

 

[dustin_P74]

i havent forgot about the pics your promised that we still dont have

 

[Bifferwine]

Sorry, I'm out of town for a bit :). For real. I am away from my tank.

 

[Gooseman]

is someone taking care of your tank ... or is it on auto pilot? i would freak out if i had to leave my tank for more than a couple of days :shock:

 

[Bifferwine]

This is NoobDeBiff's first time alone with the tank. I think he'll be just fine.

 

[Alexander]

where did you go biff?

 

[Bifferwine]

I'm in California doing some fieldwork for school. I'm going to be spending a lot of time here (and in Utah) throughout the summer. Far from a vacation :(.

 

[Alexander]

not working with rattlesnakes again are you? :eek:

 

[Bifferwine]

Not this time. Trees. Lots of trees. I actually prefer the snakes :(.

 

[cgoodman381]

[Bifferwine]

About an hour outside of Blythe (Cibola National Wildlife Refuge, to be precise).
