Masstick. I attached it to the glass. It separated and landed in the nem. It ate the whole thing.Jesus, what are you feeding that thing?! Haha
Hours later, the poop ball began to protrude. I was slow to catch that moment.

Frog spawn will need to go. taking up too much room.Love the tank. Its packed! Which decisions?
On the stunning plate of Monti- my guess is that it would achieve that shape by spreading over a sandy bottom? or does it grow the way it's currently standing?Hi all,
I will end this build thread with a few pics.
I have had this tank for almost 3 weeks.
I shall tell you the story of this tank that I call "Ann's Legacy".
I was fortunate to be looking for a tank when a former RASOC member, Ann, decided to get out of the hobby.
She had a great system starting with a Red Sea 360 (94 gallons).
Lights = Aquaticlife expert series
Diablo skimmer
2 MP10s
Jebao pump of some sort
An establish refugium
ATO
Live rock
Hippo tang (Can you guess the name?)
Yellow coris wrasse (Scuba Steve)
Gold banded wrasse (Ruby Tuesday)
Banghai cardinal (Mr. Grumpy)
AND
35 corals and anenomes
On a cold January day, I made my way to South Carolina with rubber maids and buckets in tow.
We broke down the tank piece by piece, loaded it all into the minivan.
Everything was meticulously clean.
The rock anemone of course was not going to detach. So it had to travel, exposed at the bottom of the tank in the open air.
No bad ocean smell in the van while driving.
Freezing rain began the fall on our way back to North Carolina.
It was now Saturday evening, I had to get all of this up 3 flights of stairs in the freezing rain.
Time of course is critical.
Got some help and got the tank up the stairs and into place.
Started adding water, found a heater to pop in and started adding all of the residents into a cloudy chaotic mess.
The impellors to the MP10 were left behind in South Carolina! I could not move the water. And I had no clue at that point
how to set up the sump.
The solution was to pop the skimmer pump into the tank to move water.
Now late at night and all of my helpers have opted for wine and beer.
Got the tank into a livable state.
Next day, got sump going, refugium in place, lights set up.
It is now 3 weeks later. I did not lose a single specimen.
The lobsters molted.
the 5 BTA's have become 7.
It was a great moving adventure that has a happy ending!
It is a testament to how well Ann took care of her tank.
She has made my job incredibly easy.
Day 2:
Day 5:
That is all for now!
Viking ax and helmet?! BUAHAHAHAAAAShort update.
The new Urchin. He is our favorite.
His name is Viking Linus.
Yesterday I gave him an axe.
Random shot early morning while the lights are too blue.
Next project is a battery back up using car battery.
And pondering the idea of starting REd Sea color ABCD.
If you should find that you need to remove a BTA or 2 for space-I'll be happy to help out with a new home for them!For Top Down Tuesday....
Look at those white tips on the purple stylophora.
I'd be happy to get some to ya !If you should find that you need to remove a BTA or 2 for space-I'll be happy to help out with a new home for them!
Wow! What a great DIY solution! You've got mad wrapping skills! What are you doing around December 22-23...?Black tank no more!!
My wife wanted a white tank. I pondered trying to trade for one or upgrade to a new white tank. But that would be costly.
Using a vinyl wrap, I opted to lighten up the room with a white wrap on the base.
I ordered a large roll of white vinyl from Ebay:
Gloss White 2.5FT Width Vinyl Vynil Car Auto Wrap Sticker Decal Film Sheet Roll | eBay
Gloss White Vinyl Car Wrap. Dry application only - Do not use solutions when applying this film. Heat Stretchable - The film can be heated up and stretched using a heat gun on curved corners. Calendered Vinyl - Thickness is 4.7 mil.www.ebay.com
12 feet X 2.5 feet. This was enough for the 2 doors and 2 side panels on this redsea 360.
I removed the ReadSea label and glued it back after applying the wrap. There are plenty of wrap errors hiding in there but all in all it looks decent. Always wanted a white tank and this was a $50 solution that worked really well !!
Tools that helped:
Screwdriver to remove doors
Dental floss to remove the Redsea label
Spray bottle of 70% isopropanol (squeegee out all the bubbles)
Towel
A flat credit card like edge that is soft to help smooth out bubbles
An exacto knife to cut the pieces and remove the excess vinyl
The tank has largely beaten the hair algae battle.
Even with the cover, a clown leaped out and landed on the cover. Now I must find yet another partner for the remaining perc.
Added a handful of zoanthids from smaller tank.
Back to happy tank days!
Bring your tank to North Carolina and I'll wrap it!Wow! What a great DIY solution! You've got mad wrapping skills! What are you doing around December 22-23...?
