Heath ' s 150 tall build

Haha, clam on the half shell! Always reminds me of the walrus and carpenter song :D

My purple tang was the first sucka to fall for it! Lol.

 

[prsnlty]

Haha! At least it's working :D

 

[heathd.hd]

I think I'm gonna have problems with my malanarus wrasse Hmmmmmm. How to catch that dude.

 

[prsnlty]

After you have everyone out, try some food in a large net. Takes a lot of patience.

 

[prsnlty]

If you gently feed your fish via net all the time they get used to it and won't run from it. This makes it easier to catch them in the future when ya need to

 

[heathd.hd]

Yah sounds like a great idea except I don't have time for all that ever. Also I think my tang being so active stresses out my rabbit fish. Idk might have to trade him in for another one that isn't so shy. Kinda weird.

 

[heathd.hd]

So I made a deal. Trading my rabbit for a kole tang. Kole should be alot happier in my tank.

 

[prsnlty]

That's a great deal! Wow

 

[heathd.hd]

Small kole for a large rabbit. Idk. Lfs trying to suck me in lol. Keep me from buying stuff online.

 

[heathd.hd]

Look at this big old snail tounge! Lol.

So I found a oceanic 110g on craigslist for 200 bucks with stand thinking about selling my tank and putting up this thing instead.... opinions would be great!

 

[prsnlty]

Looks decent and it appears to be drilled too. Definitely check it out.

 

[heathd.hd]

Yah it's a reef ready. Duel overflows 1" and also duel 3\4" returns. I guess oceanic ' s are like the caddies of tanks. Not starfires but really nice. I'll see Thursday what's up.

 

[prsnlty]

If I remember correctly, I think it'll have about, if not the same footprint as your 150. Just not the depth. Personally I don't care to deal with any tank deeper than 24". They get pretty cumbersome. And yes, Oceanics are usually really nice tanks :)

 

[heathd.hd]

60 x 18 x 24 tall. Yah much better. My tall would be cool for someone just not me. Lol

 

[heathd.hd]

So I made a deal with a lfs for a very respectable amount of credit on my this 150 tall tank, my sump, and the glass holes overflow! Picking up the 110 Thursday and will be doing the transfer hopefully this weekend! Need to build a sump and get rocking all new stuff! Well half new.

 

[prsnlty]

That's great, I'm happy for you! 24" depth is still deep but nothing like you had lol. I used to hate my 100g hexagon for that very reason!

I'm busting butt at the moment too. When my husband comes home this weekend he is going to turn my tank on its side so I can reseal it, then back up before he leaves again in 3 days :)
