ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

What?!? He's just going to win the IM tank and have to get rid of one anyway! I'm helping.

@Kathy Floyd ! Tank still hasn't arrived but here's the thread.

(Sorry, no birds but pics are always welcome).

Email confirmation! The tank shipped today!!!!!

 

[JoJosReef]

About time. We're about 4 pages behind for an FTS.

 

[tbrown]

That's the ESHOPPS 70, not the IM 170 for the record.

 

[JoJosReef]

I'm slowly dying inside today as I wait for them to announce @tbrown for the one tank to rule them all.

 

[tbrown]

As it turns out, I was not the winner of the 170 and it appears as if it wasn't a R2R entry probably.

 

[JoJosReef]

I smell a scandal

Ok, got a phone call from the distributor, tank is on the truck leaving the distributor tomorrow. Typically it takes 4 business days to get from Florida to the distribution center here in my part of Arizona. He said the local freight company should be calling me to schedule delivery for the end of next week.

We've got movement people!

I also received an email from ESHOPPS saying that they will be shipping the skimmer (and some other fun freebies for my patience) probably this afternoon or tomorrow so I should expect another delivery soon!

Looks like 6 actually.

Also, because I don't have a ton of extra rock (maybe 40-50 pounds?) I decided to go ahead and make an Aragocrete shelf tonight. I also added a couple of frag holes (I think 4) to it for future corals.

My reminder?? Confused....

Asking for Aquascape suggestions for your new tank.

Also annoyed I just discovered this thread

I'm going to mysteriously start a new one and not tell ANY of you monsters once the tanks get moved/setup/split

I posted it on the Cafe and the 125 threads I thought, but I could very easily be wrong.

You probably did. November was wild and I missed a lot.

Still your fault tho

As the Cronie Intern Nominee I take full responsibility!
