[scubasteve]

And one i already had

 

[scubasteve]

well seeing everything underneath kept getting me yelled at so i covered it up stand is metal so didnt want to frame... besides magnets are cheap. i made the center panel large enough to get at pretty well everything but the 2 smaller side panels are just magnets as well total cost about $60 had paint left over from my frag tank cabinet so that saved alot but heres the pics

very nice !

well after moving some things out decided to re arrange a bit see how long this one lasts

 

[scubasteve]

well after having a deep sand bed in my fuge with about a 5 gallon pail full worth of chaeto and a couple softball clumps of grape algae and some mangroves i have managed to stretch my water changes to 3 weeks before anything is detectable with tests.... normally nitrate registers a little but after installing a makeshift algae scrubber this water change nothing was detectable.... am amazed and best part rocks sandbed are spotless and glass i allow just enough to form to keep those copepods coming. Joy of natural consumption and i know im not getting false readings because sps and lps are all growing well and everytime i get new stock my lfs double checks for me

Always nice to have less maintenance

and cant forget all the hidden wonders underneath so heres the guts that make it all work... i keep laughing ai 12" alluminum ext rail is $36.99ea my homedepot heavy duty mending plates for repairing broken joists $12ea = a hell of a lot more trust than flimsy alluminum... good ol cold pressed stainless steel lol

got some growth updates on my digi's photo before is from july 10th new photo is today so a little over a month which isnt long but some major differences

before...blue monti on bottom right was sold

And current

 

[scubasteve]

finally after alot of tips and references from people here i got some decent shots on my phone lol one day will have a camera but not in the budget right now... glad i got a samsung and not an iphone

 

[scubasteve]

has been a while since i last updated so figure some fts are in order.... recently i took the gamble of adding a snowflake eel to my reef tank and being almost a month with no problems i think he is liking his new home and got a horseshoe crab for the little guy now he can boast he owns something older than dinosaurs.

Looking good!

absolutely awesome, you must be very proud...the tank is your 125? maybe someday my new will look that good

Looking great. I've always been fascinated with horseshoe crabs. How long did they say it takes the horseshoe crab to get to it's full size? What are you going to do with it when it outgrows the tank? Go for a bigger tank? LOL Always looking for an excuse for a bigger tank (that's why I have so many, )
