My Shallow Dream Build 60" × 30" × 17"

[cmaxwell39]

Just got home from work so I figured I'd poke the bear somewhere ;Smuggrin



Thanks! Things are moving slowly but surely I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to order my first fish, especially when the wife pointed one out that she really wants. That has NEVER happened before so I'm chomping at the bit right now lol

Enjoy the quarantine/observation process! Get the fish!

As Victoria said, DO IT!!!! Having fish in the house will motivate you to keep pushing. Plus, you do HAVE to keep the wife happy right now (ok the last part is true, but it does help that she is making our case stronger);Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

TRUST ME, there's nothing easy about holding back and honestly I was just going to toss the first two additions (Clowns) directly into the tank. Just worried about aeration as theres zero surface skimming going on right now. So I'm not sure how that effects oxygen levels in the water.

Today I started the arduous task of plumbing these drains and at the same time, making a list of the plumbing parts im missing, hard to believe with all the parts that I do have I could possibly be missing some. But it's true, so ANOTHER order going in shortly;Shifty

I could point one of the closed loop outlets towards the surface. My last maxijet shocked me, one of the reasons I went the closed loop route as well

Lol! The Tripple dot is the wife's and she's naming it Boo Boo, so hopefully it ends up the female ;Hilarious ;Hilarious ;Hilarious

Although if it's not, I might be able to get him a 3D printed picnic basket ;Bookworm ;Writing

You know an X month pregnant female is going to blame you if so much as a fin bar is ever out of place on that fish right?

We should start a community pool, like those gardens lol. I'm sure between a few of us we could fund a tank or three lol.

Alright you enablers, happy????

If we can't provide peer pressure what good are we?

Thanks! I've never seen the triple dot clowns before, the wife only wanted one so I went with the snowflake for the other.

And hey I'm not that big of a pushover!

I wish I could but I'm broke after this

"and I haven't checked out @Scratch08's thread in a couple weeks... hard core thread slacking right now ;Sorry"

Don't worry...you're not missing anything on my build thread...havent updated anything on it in weeks...nothings changed in or on my tank. Hopefully beginning of October I'll place my first coral order, was hoping to do it last weekend, but then a hurricane happened, and I spent my coral money making sure we had what we needed to survive without power for however long we had to...now I have a bunch of extra stuff I wont really use again, unless there is another hurricane that is, because power came back on sooner than expected... (and no I'm not complaining about the power being on, I seriously hated the cold showers ;Bored)

 

[Scratch08]

I'll SPAM you so you don't have to go look at my thread (sorry, glass is dirty, I'm slacking )

 

[fishguy242]

yeah why not
