Blog Comments

I like what you wrote, pepper.

Wow! Sweet! I read that article awhile back. I can't remember if you were having such great success back then or not, but wow, this is cool. Thanks for sharing. I feel like the caliber of people on this blog is way beyond anything else in the online community. Maybe RC has more people, but it's hard to find everybody and it's so easy to get banned over their for "breaking" some unknown set of conduct. Besides, with at least two Reef Hobbyist writers and one MACNA speaker, this site has got enough brass for me to go on learning for forever! Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure why your attachments look like thumbnails. When I double click them, I do see larger versions.

Thanks, I'll work on it in the next post. Whats the best way to do a follow up? just a seperate blog ?

love it looking forward to your up dates

Very nice Adam. I'd prefer it if your images weren't thumbnails, so as not to need to click on each one to see the larger version. Your tank looks good, with plenty of open space. I felt the same way about my new reef.

Not sure if you guys know, or if it is in your area... but, harbor frieght sells a cheap, 1/2" drill/ roto hammer like you'd use to drill your rock for really cheap. I can round up the bits you'd need from work if you would want to pay the shipping from cali cause the bits are the expensive part. But, everyone pretty much uses them on jobs so they are easy enough to come by.

I really like the looks of your rock work, I'm in the slow process of setting up a 180 gal AGA tank. Can you tell me a little bit about how you go about drilling the live rock. That looks like a long 1/2" concrete drill bit. How long can you leave the live dock out of water. I've been looking for something different in aqua-scaping, and I'm very impressed with your work. Keep us posted on your progress.

most of those pics are from when the tank was pretty young, around 3-6 mos after I took out the old scape and added a 6-8 inch deep sandbed including around 50-60 lbs of various "muds," most of which from established refugiums. The lagoon itself has been set up about 10 mos now, I'll do a more current post and more thorough write up soon, just wanted to get you familiar with the system, which is actually one of my main store displays. These pics show some of the more interesting inhabitants.

Thanks guys, I'm still getting used to the posting format, sorry for the pic jumble, a few of those pics are actually other tanks. I really like the wild photos, I found those AFTER I scaped the tank when I was preparing a preso and I feel a few really translate well to what I was trying to accomplish. Things are progressing well, they'll be another photo update soon

That live rock is phenominal! Wow!! Love it!

That's pretty sweet! Totaly different than A typical! Thinking outside the box! I like it!

Verrrry nicely done. You've got some GREAT pieces in there. :-)

Nice looking setup, not the regular type we see. Looking forward to future updates.
