Good job you need red robin stag for complete yours colection

 

[Jcr's Reef]

Thanks. Don't know if I like the Red Robin or not. Maybe once someone local gets one in so I can get a better view.

My new leopard wrasse finally came out of hiding. She stayed out for about a whole hour before descending beneath the sand again : ( . My potters wrasse stays out all day until the lights go out. Very hard to take a picture of them, let alone get a good picture with them together.

Nice tank and those wrasses are fantastic! I wish I could own a tank to house them. Thanks for the picks!

Unfortunately I will have to take the tank down sometime within the next month or so to move to our new house, but it will give me a chance to make it better (I hope). I haven't thought it through yet, but I'm wanting to plumb through the wall out into the garage, were I will have to build a small closet (est~3' deep x 10' long) filtration and frag tank setup out there. Maybe this summer it will happen. I need to figure out what type of doors, ventilation, and temp control to use. Any ideas?

Me trying to be a professional photographer like so many other reefers :xd:

Finally made it from the frag tank to the main display. I would say he is very happy!

Some coral shots. I tried to mess around with the camera but I still haven't figured out the manual stuff out on it. This Sony camera really doesn't like T5's, I know that much, or I just don't know how to use it :squigglemouth:.

great selection of fish and corals..about to set up a 90g myself so this really gives me a great idea of what I can accomplish with my upcoming tank. Not sure if I missed it, but can you detail dimensions and current fish in your tank? thanks.

 

[Jcr's Reef]

Thanks SkinZ

Great job on the tank. I love the stand too.

 

[Jcr's Reef]

Thank you. The stand cleans up very easy when I make a mess. It still shines like the day I built it :smile:

 

[Jcr's Reef]

Figured I would post what this tank has transpired from, from the start. Feel free to share ideas, criticize, or comment.
All of the stand is built out of redoak measuring 58"L x 31W"x 33"H. On the top of the stand I used a show glaze for bar tops. Kind of like a 2 part epoxy. The rest of the stand is done in Cabot varnish since it holds up well in marine/harsh environments. Both can be purchased at Home Depot.

Tank is 48"Lx 24"Wx 20"H. Tank was built by Miracles. Sides are 1/2" (front panel starfire), bottom is 3/4" untempered in case I wanted to drill holes in it later on.

 

[Jcr's Reef]

I didn't want to use loc line so I had to take out a couple of teeth on each side for the 3/4" PVC to fit for the water return. Dremels come in real handy on projects like this. PVC is painted with black Krylon Fusion paint.
