my large custom tank build (225g+) isn't feasible right now with the workload and commitments i have. but i managed to make my way back to the site and got inspired to do... something.
i'm getting more and more serious with my 46g and just upgraded my lights on that tank so i can now start growing SPS and whatever other corals i want and picked up a 2-part kit from BRS along with a whole other host of goodies aimed at creating the most ideal environment for accelerated growth and beautiful coloration.
i really like the idea and task of propagation and fragging my corals. so, here i am!
i took advantage of the PETCO $1/gallon sale and picked up a 40 breeder. a 29, and a metal stand.
when the clerk was trying to help guide the cart along the tipsy turvy parking lot with the tanks, he got a little manic and ended up dropping the two tanks. the 40 breeder had to be replaced but the 29 was ok.
i got home and realized the 29 had a crack at the edge seam. went back to exchange it and picked up a 20-long instead to save some height under the stand. in the process (i wasn't really paying attention and only noticed after getting home), i somehow got a massive credit and ended up getting my 40-breeder and 20-long for 30 bucks :shock:
my conscience was bugging me and i called in to the manager who then instructed that if i'm still around i can stop by but otherwise they will chalk it up to clerical error and to enjoy my new tanks! :^: i was quite elated and really amped at this point, haha.
i setup it up in my basement next to my heating space where my sump is for my DT that is upstairs. this way i can tee off the RO/DI unit and run a line to another container easily through the shared wall without anyone being the wiser for the tunze ATO.
i got quite a bit else to update but have to hit the road. i'll be sure to post up later today! thanks for coming along with the ride with me!
