Re: New Tank for Balki, Almost Ready
Thanks puffpaddy 
I'm waiting on a package, so it could be as late as the 14th, but the UPS tracking program thing isn't working right now.
I want to make sure I have the pumps all situated before I move him over.

Re: New Tank for Balki, Almost Ready
I am absolutely in love with your background. It's a really cool idea and I am so jealous of it O_O lol
Anyway, I am super excited for you puffer to get moved over to the new tank. Are you planning on just FOWLR or do you plan to add other corals and stuff?

Re: New Tank for Balki, Almost Ready
It looks so good, Seven! I love how crafty everyone gets with their tanks, i've been following chuck's posts of his tank build also, you guys are inspiring.
i'm artsy but not so crafty, I think if there was a thread I could get my fiance to make me nice stuff ;P
is there a thread where everyone just posts pictures of their tanks?
ps, the surlaW thing is killing me

Thanks N_G! I'm excited to see what the "cave" and little caves look like with that shadow box lit up behind them. I really hope that it works out.Nuclear_Glitter wrote:I am absolutely in love with your background. It's a really cool idea and I am so jealous of it O_O lol

For some time, I'll probably just keep it as FOWLR, but I'd like to add some slower growing calcareous macro algae, maybe some mushrooms one day.

I think you just start a thread in the appropriate section if you want to post your tank pics, that's what most of us do

Re: New Tank for Balki, Almost Ready
I never thought about how much bigger they look once full grown, however they are only 2x the size they are now for seven and myself lol. But there football shape makes them seem much largerReaperpilot2014 wrote:He's almost halfway there!

I'm so jealous of you. The tank looks great in the begginning photos, can't wait to see what it becomes!
