Lol yes I built it in my dad's workshop. I took quite a few build pics throughout the process, wouldn't be too hard for you to recreate if you went through the first couple pages of this thread.

Last coral shipment for a while
who am I kidding..
Hello everyone!
I havn't updated in a while so I took the camera to the tanks this evening. The past week or two has been pretty busy with the tanks, I had the impeller break on my brand new skimmer which left me skimmerless for a better part of 2 weeks, seems to be breaking in nicely now that I have it running again. Also tuning the frag tank to run just as smoothly as the main tank, skimmer still being a rascal and overflowing constantly but that should work itself out soon.
I added a bunch of coral these past two weeks;
ORA Green Planet
SniperSPS Blue Lagoon
RR Nauti Spiral Monti
Tyree Joe the Acro
Dragonskin Acro
Rommel’s Watermelon
Purple Slimer
Lime in the Sky
ORA Ice Tort
Toxic Green Tort
to name a few.. or all, fine.
Also added 2 new pairs of fish as well!
A pair of Black Snowflakes from Mr. Chad Vossen himself! & a bonded pair of Helfrichi Firefish (currently in QT) off of Divers Den.
I wasn't able to get a good picture of either, the firefish are hiding, the QT isn't well lit, and the Black Snowflakes are still pretty tiny and it was hard to get them to stay relatively still in plain sight!
Anyway here are the pictures! Enjoy! :beerchug:
Black Snowflakes
May SPS Shipment!
ORA Green Planet (I really like this new one from ORA)
11 MAY 2013 - Main Display Full Tank Shot
11 MAY 2013 - Frag Tank Full Tank Shot (a couple test frags sitting on the racks, doing well for the past 2 weeks might add more from the display)
Thanks for stopping by!

Lookin' good man.
Do you do any sort of prophylactic treatment or just observe in QT?

More for observe to make sure they are eating well before I put them in the 75, and I also treat with PraziPro.

Starting to feed more, export more, and added a pair of Helfrichi Firefish, we'll see where this goes!!
Up in Fargo/Moorhead for the marathon and moving my girlfriend out of her apartment, will update with pictures when I get some time! Busy spring.. building a deck, landscaping the backyard, and helping my brother move into his new house. Tanks are no where near being neglected, but getting pictures on TCMAS is sorry guys and gals!

I Had drill all weekend, missed the swap.. not happy about it but I did finish the plumbing, first plumbing task ever and it showed a little but I think it went pretty well!
Next up was aquascaping mock up and then acid washing the rock I decided on using. I plan on going for a very minimalistic aquascape and will eventually fill up with corals. Here is what I came up with, what do you think?
Now the Acid wash, I was VERY surprised how much brown scum came off the BRS Dry reef saver/pukani rock, extremely glad I acid washed it!
Girlfriend decided I need a picture.. Homemade shorts!Where's Bakes he would appreciate this photo!
Drying out the rock while I stain the Mini Stand, I am only using the rock up on the top cardboard, the other stuff (mostly pukani) will be used saved and used somewhere down the road, lets be honest, most likely on another build lol.
I didn't use much pukani, I REALLY like the reef-saver rock, Soooooo easy to work with and looks a lot nicer in my opinion
Stand for my Apex Lite + components, will also house my ATO reservoir.
And yes it will have a door!
Hahaha just noticed this, killer boots man

LOL, I just noticed you have the curse of the dwarf ceriths.
"Are they alive or are they dead? Are they just empty shells? Are they rightside up or upside down?"
don't think those are ceriths, my guess red legs *hermit*

Thanks man. I choose my corals off need not want
LOL, I just noticed you have the curse of the dwarf ceriths.
"Are they alive or are they dead? Are they just empty shells? Are they rightside up or upside down?"
Yes they are Dwarf Ceriths, and they are alive! I took this picture in the last ~1.5 hours of the photoperiod. They actually come out from the sandbed and cover the glass right before lights out. When I bought them from reefcleaners I ordered the 40g pack even though I obviously have a 75g.. still had way to dang many!!
Dwarf Ceriths indeed
cool, didn't think they hung around much on the sandbed, when I had mine it was on the glass most of the time...
