Red_Beard's 75 Tank Build

[Red_Beard]

The fish seem to be loving the opened up center. They have been swimming back and forth between the two islands and having a good time exploring. I will get some better pics when all the turbidity is settled down. I think i want to scoot the right structure in just a bit too and rotate it a touch after a while to see if i can get more light on that lower far right finger. Dont want to stir too much up at once just in case. I didnt see any of the fish breathing hard during the last excavation though, so should be fine.

I'm sure it'll be easier to get in touch with him once he gets people settled in lol. I couldnt even place my order till yesterday and I could get in contact with him. Definitely shoot an email if your having trouble, his inbox is getting blown up

Yeah, i am not too worried about it. He always treats me right :)

Um, excuse me, kind sir, but is this you and you 1.) forgot to tell us, or 2.) don’t know you won, or 3.) spoke about it and I somehow missed it?

Oh, wait, I think I remember now. Yes, indeed I do. You were the first last place finisher.

Ignore this post and the post above.

Mucky muck. That sand hadnt been cleaned in... 4 years? Ish?
What do you think of the new scape?

I like it man. It's a little more open. The separate structures really pop. Looking good!

Thank you brother!
Here is one of it from just now, all cleaned up :)

My wife keeps ribbing me about the frag racks distracting from the whole scape "floating procrastination" i believe were the exact words she used.

I am living in rack land myself right now. (Not as much fun as it sounds). I tried to get the more natural looking ones from aquarocks. I have several of their products and do like them, but this rack I got for my acros isn't the best. One of the holes wasn't drilled correctly so a frag plug wont go in it. I had to glue the snipers blue next to the hole like a noob.

It also has this weird split level thing going on so one of the frags has a gangster lean.

Thug lyfe! That one is tipped to optimize light absorption! They look good up there too
I like those racks, i want to throw one on the back wall. Either one of those or a slimline black one.

Why can't you simply redrill the hole(s)?

I probably could, but I discovered it when I was holding a handful of acros with nowhere else to put them at the time lol. I think a sanding bit will do it, if it is drilled all the way through. If it ISN'T drilled all the way through, I worry about busting the thing. Im probably just going to find somewhere on the rocks to mount that frag.

They have some great options. This one was the only problem I ever had with one of their products.

Not sure yet. I need easy. I really liked the Pink Cadillac before it died but I really haven't had time to window shop his site. He's on Instagram, right?
