My 72 Bowfront Build Revised Thread

[john.m.cole3]

is starphire the same as sapphire?

 

[Desmond]

Yeah mine either. I'm going 150 or 180. What about you?

I want 500 gallon built into the wall that can be viewed front and side. I have it in the plan for the house we want to build she just does not know how big it will actually be

 

[Desmond]

She is a Marathon runner, so I have plenty of time. We are very open about a finances so there is no sneaking around, so there would be a discussion and the rimless will take place. I am thing of building the tank myself, and I will also build the sump. I want to see what the cost of sapphire glass is. Sapphire is very clear and dose not scratch that easily.

what i do with my money is my business she gets hers and the rest into joint account . Getting married in July now so that will kill the saving so the upgrade will wait a while. Will go to the maldives on honeymoon to keep me happy until i get my upgrade lol. Its allot harder to get things here in Norway than in the us and allot more expensive !

Congratulation on the marriage. I just found that I have more peace with keeping the bookkeeping open. Plus it is kind of hard when she does the bookkeeping for our companies. The thing that is nice though is that I have my reefing extra income which is discretionary income

Had to pull the heater for the vinegar soak and place it back in the sump, the temp was dropping. Remember this, "lucky is a residue of design". Meaning "every decision you make now is for you future ,So make wise decisions and your future will come to fruition". That is you Zin for today I live it, breath it, and eat it

This is aquascape I made same compounds as natural reef rock, very porous, stable in the tank. Tell me what you think!

 

[jsker]

Boom, I am impressed. Back in the day, we you use busted up cinder block for the reef base. Then drop the live tonga rock on top. the rock look like most of the rock that one purchases in the store. I need to play about with a product that I have to make a shelf on the back of the tank that is held on with magnets. I need to make a mold and figure how to keep the magnets glue in place and what type of magnets to use.

Thanks a lot! Sounds like a fun next project for you..I might play around with that idea as well..got a pretty good idea how to make the shelf, imbedding the mags would be the challenge. Holding weight for a long period needs a little for thought...don't like loud crashes in the middle of the night you know!

 

[jsker]

Time to do some research! @Eaj1001

 

[jsker]

@Eaj1001 found the magnets. Now to make the styro mold
