ermano's 29 gallon make over

ermano · 11-25-2008, 03:33 PM

Ever since i set-up my tank (feb '08 ) nothing really went on for a very long time...until now!!

Well, my tank has been sitting on an empty computer desk for a long time...

I just build a stand for it and i am commencing moving tonight...i then will plumb up my sump/'fuge, hook up some reactors and add more rock...

here goes nothing!!

I'll add pictures later!!

well it's been a good 5 hours...everyone is settled in. cleaned everything up, fun is just starting!!

as requested, here are some pics!!

still to come: plumb up sump/fuge, hook up reactors and put in some live rock!!

tanks stand, took about 5 full days to make (including finish and seal), not too bad for my first

where the tank used to be

temporary place for livestock (don't mind the laundry) i only had rubbermade tubs laying around...so i put them to use

where the tank is right now!

I tried snapping pictures when it was being filled up, they all came out blurry for some reason...

the sump underneath it is a 10 gallon and behind the stand i have a 5.5 gallon fuge...since it's going to be gravity fed into the sump, it's sitting on a platform i made for it...you can't see it unless you stick your head inside the stand..

It's amazing what a sump/fuge will make a guy do.
