I bought more than I’ll need and multiple different sizes. I’ll be in Palm Springs the next two days, so my brother is getting started without me. My new tank, some coral, macro algae, and a couple other things are all being delivered in the 5th so I need it ready ASAP. We can return whatever we don’t use so I didn’t mind spending more than I need to for now
ok, I'll finish it up today.
it works with the 20 for the sump.
and you need the sump for the added weight down low.
or the bottom red boards need to be longer to prevent a roll over.
@Lost in the Sauce review please.
37" high from floor to bottom of dt.
14" wide.

you'll have it tonight.

edit: a picture would help. :rolleyes:

Awesome that works for me! I have 14 pounds of rock for the sump as of now. I can get more, if needed, to help balance the weight out more. I’m excited to see how it turns out!

Edit: That looks really nice I like it! And it keeps the needed space to a minimum which I really appreciate

strange... i don't see @danieyella 's post.
she must blocked me.
but here's the thing, it was four posts before you asking me what I do.

@James_O please don't blame using a phone for skipping posts all the information was posted, you are like a fire cracker in a box of fireworks and will be appreciated more, imo, if you slow down a bit.

That was weeks ago. I’m just pointing out to you that it’s extremely easy to miss posts in this giant thread, especially since I’m on a phone.

What wrong with some curiosity? I was genuinely curious as to what you did, because I like cars.

@James_O There are times to be quiet and times to speak, and part of the reason you’re at the “little kid’s table” is because you don’t know the difference, still. You’re a “guest” in Frank’s thread, like any of us, and should refrain from using it as a means to backsass people who you really ought to be more respectful of.

why don’t you like it? It’s one I’ve debated, but never went for

To be honest I just find it unattractive. Kinda shallow of me but there ya have it. It was the 3rd coral I got and it has grown well but the more it grows the harder it is to find a spot for it. It's just annoying.

What makes the placement hard? Aggression, shading, growth pattern?

Looks great. The joints look about exactly how I've built mine. Like verbatim.. I wish I was as versed in cad and could moch up as quickly as you can.

Hope everyone has a good Tuesday! I don’t have any good spam, but here is my spotted mandarin having dinner on Sunday- you can even make out my PT coming to check out the camera behind the clown in the first pic. Cue Jaws theme… 9EEB1C0D-3DAA-4A09-8613-C013C4CA951B.jpeg AA2C7AF6-A58F-4484-AD1D-1AADEDF60E13.jpeg
I’ve always wanted a mandarin goby, but I don’t think I’ll be able to keep one in a tank as small as mine! I heard they’re hard enough to keep in a mature 75 gallon so I think I’ll keep it on the “Dream Fish” list

Some days it's floppy and will rest on my Anacropora , some days it stands up straight, it likes light and flow in my tank so it takes up valuable real estate, and I know how big they can get and its will simply overwhelm my 20g cube. And if something's going to overwhelm the tank I'd prefer it to be better looking ;)
