Reef tank adventure...

[Paul]

I've bowed to peer pressure.
"Start a reef tank or I won't respect you" and "I have a reef tank, the ladies love it!" etc is what I have been copping from Tim lately, so tonight i've bought a 75 liter curved front tank with a glass overflow and a 40 liter sump and skimmer off a reefer who upgraded to bigger and better things. This will be my next project when I have the 120 ready to go and is well established...Not much to report really...Watch this space I guess

[Paul, The Engineer]

well looking forward for the pictures and updated post.... congratz!

[Blake]

[donsfish]

Ah............the things we do out of peer pressure

[callen]

Yipppeeee!! Nice work Tim!!

Paul a BIG welcome to the salty side

Tim has learned a lot over the last few months so I would listen to him

[Nathan]

Good on you, Paul. The only thing stopping me from converting my oscar tank to a reef tank is the price of a chiller for a tank that size (and the cost to run it).

"Start a reef tank or I won't respect you" and "I have a reef tank, the ladies love it!"

The respect thing never phased you....but that ladies thing suckered you right in

Ladies....?
Hmmmm

[Paul]

I think he tricked me. I might snap a few pics today. It's still in my car.

[OinKY]

Good luck,keep us posted on it

Around 20g...ought to be interesting.

[TimP]

Ha ha, good of Tim to convert you! And very much looking forwayd to see how your planning on TOPPING Tim.

[Tim]

I don't know about that callen, i still have a lot to learn

For the record i don't recall saying either of those things but i did nag like old lady.(and possibly eluded to those 2 points in different words)
Looking forward to seeing this thing started!

[Paul]

This is my reef octopus skimmer. Still needs a bit of a clean, perhaps attack it with vinegar to get the coraline type growth out of it.

[Tim]

different design to all 3 of mine, hope you have instructions!
got any pics of the tank yet?

[Paul]

No instructions, Sure it won't be too hard to work out though As I think it's a hurricane 1000, the water goes in the pipe above the powerhead, and is returned to the sump via the pipes with the ball valve. He said he used the valve to set the level in the sump when he was running it.
And the tank is still on the back seat of my car...
