I cant wait either...  that tank is killer.  Did you find bulkheads yet?  I should have given you most of the old plumbing with it.  some of it was still salvagable.

That piece is sweet! I eye balled that thing a pile of times at Bill's but never pulled the trigger. At least I knew where to steal it from err... grab a frag sometime.

 

[davesolo29]

lmao.. ya,  it was the first one to catch my eye when i went in.  So i knew it was mine.  Just had to settle on price first.

 

[phi delt reefer]

[davesolo29]

wow...most excellent Dave.  Looks great so far.

Ya I was looking at that piece at Bills a while back too actually...its a nice one.  It looks a lot like the one I called my banana tabler.  I dont think its tenuis Dave.....but maybe. 

 

[davesolo29]

if your going to come this way,  i can give you the internal plumbing that was in it.  also we can go get bulkheads and pretty much whatever else you need at ashton pools here in town.  pretty good prices on all their fittings

Thanks... its been slow, so i hope it goes well this time.. no more moves, no more extra kids, etc.

I dont think its a tabler.  I have had a couple before and have another blue tabler now.  They look nothing alike.

 

[Salty Cracker]

I have a chunk of that banana tabler...when it gets encrusted it really does sort of look like that piece.  It has dark polyps and then the long feeders.  Yellow on top and green on the base.  Can almost look messy/furry. 

 

[davesolo29]

Stole this pic from Phi's build thread.  Mine looks nothing like this.

MRT Banana Tabler and IA Pink Fusion Milli - the milli was a deep pink/almost purple but browned out in my tank and is now finally getting color.

 

[reeffreak]

[davesolo29]
