New tank in the house!

[mrhammy]

Today was the delivery day for my Waterbox 150.4. What have I done? It is big. It is hard to understand your new tank's size until you open the boxes. The stand is partially assembled, and I should have it in place this weekend. I am still waiting for Black Friday sales for all my RedSea sump equipment and hope that blade lights go on sale!

More to come!

Got to say WaterBox is on the ball! Most likely in shipping my new controllbox was damaged a quick email sent out and they are already sending me a new one!

Just poped up in my Facebook memories, I year ago I started the cycle on my learning tank, a 29, what a change the new 150.4 will be!

The first half of the rockwork is in! My wife built this one, mine still needs to dry. Cardboard in tank to protect incase of a bit fallong off as i lowered it in. Now come on black friday sales!

Still gluing rocks, some things stick, and some do not! Frustrating!

Looking Good!
When I was gluing my rocks I found that the epoxy was not strong enough to hold big overhangs. I used cotton and super glue to hold in place and then added marco rock mortar to strengthen the joints! Man did that work well! It takes a bit longer but worth the piece of mind not worrying if a piece will fall off in a few weeks.
