Hey Doug. I'll take a look at that 75...no promises though. I may build my own stand & lighting to save $$$. Can't wait to start the reef...though I'll never turn my back completely to my freshwater roots. Goes back to watching my grandpop breed sword tails and sell then back to Brids Birds Birds on Frankford Ave. Hopefully Saturday before but with my girl running the marathon Sunday I'm not sure...

Peace

You sure ruined his good time. It must have been his beer that was spilled. I'd be ticked off too.

 

[shavo]

so. I did the rock drilling with mr. X to simmilate what sanjay did and it went good.. I took some pics from a camera but mr. X wants me to hire a professional to photographer,
this is what I came up with anyhow,
and Doni, I don't spill beer!!

looks nice man!.. i picked up 2 porcelain crabs, 1 peppermint shrimp, 2 sally lightfoot, 10 snails, and a tiger tail cucumber. tossed them all in the display except for the peppermint shrimp (fuge). we missed you there.

 

[mr_X]

ok..here it is. the metamorphosis :

 

[mr_X]

the tools.....

as you can see, we followed sanjay's lead and used mason bricks, but instead of using 1/2 pvc pipe, we decided on somewhat bio-degradable wooden dowels.

 

[mr_X]

next we picked pieces that we thought would look good together, and we drilled holes through them 8O and slid them on the dowel.
