Getting to know other people here

no, I politely explained to him that his 50 bucks wouldn't even pay for the tank and drilling. im a redneck, but he was a dumb redneck. "what good is a fish tank with holes in it?"

Lol!

cant really sell it separately. I mean I could, but I don't want half a setup sitting around lol. I might though. who knows. I don't really need to sell it. im perfectly happy just taking it down and putting it away until I want to set it back up. but if someone else could use it, and I wouldn't loose too much money on the sale, id be ok selling it.

It's probably much easier just selling all the pieces by themselves, but up to you.

 

[Dtackett]

easier yes, might even get more money out of it. but guess im just not that motivated to sell it lol. no big deal. ive got plenty of storage. hell, I might just set it up somewhere else who knows.

That's right, for a moment I was worried you were quitting were I first saw you post that.
You working tonight?

 

[Dtackett]

yup. if im on these forums im "working" ;)

no, not leaving the hobby. I tried. but it drug me back. its worse than crack. im just moving to smaller tanks. thinking if my vase tank works as I plan, and it is stable, I may do a second one, but make it portable. you know, epoxy everything together, use putty to hold the frag plugs in the holes, build a light holder that sits on top of the vase but holds the light up high. that way I can take it to swaps and show it off and take it to my sons school when he gets older for science projects and such. who knows how far I will take this. but eventually ill be doing a large build, 200-300 gallons. maybe more. but that wont be for a few years.

Yep, a Pico isn't much of a tank. No fish in either I guess. I want a 180 gallon I how I can get one day.

 

[Dtackett]

nope. no fish. but that's ok. the fish I want need big tanks lol however the coral I want can go in these small tanks. ill just be fragging pretty often.

I think you should keep the 29 gallon also, keep a regular tank.

 

[Dtackett]

even if I keep it, it will be coming down and be put away until I decide what I want to do with it. even then im not sure how long before I decide to set it back up, or where I would set it back up. im a bit limited on room now.

 

[Dtackett]

not to mention my house has more windows than walls lol. its hard to enjoy the daylight without it shining on the tank. I rarely feed my tank (starry blenny eats up algae like crazy) and ive got gha starting right where the sunlight hits. so my rocks are leaching phosphates plus the day light lol its a battle im just not up to right now.

Yup. Probably wore out a lot of casters. ;)

That's all right, though. I'd still have any one of you over for a barbecue.

The branch that supplies Corpsmen is okay in my book. I'd even host a Coastie. Anyone that wrote that blank check has something going for them.
