FarmerTy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 When's the big day for the center brace removal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 When's the big day for the center brace removal? The Brace is being touched up, then powder coated, then we'll be ready. I'll probably knock it out at some point during spring Break. Need to figure out how i'm going to hold the glass brace in place so when the silicone is loose, it doesn't fall into the tank!

Juiceman Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Well.. One of the RW-8s stopped working already. Didn't even last 8 Months. It worked great while it did..... Replace it? Or get something different....? I have contacted Jabao about any Warranty... Idk if anything will come from that.

Juiceman Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Brace fresh from powder coat! We used clamps, a filet knife, razors, and putty tools... The right side wouldn't budge! Then we tried breaking the glass.. That proved futile. Amist all of that I guess we loosened it enough where I could hear it separating by pushing down on it, and boom! Pooped out! Brace in place, no more huge glass! Filler back up! I can see the yellow polyps on my yellow polyped Monti now! I've never been able to see them with that glass on! Huge relief that it went well!

Isaac Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 that center brace suckethed muchly, very unawsomeness. i mean, to even consider BREAKING it was difficult idea for my paranoia. some notes.... filet knife was good, metal putty knife was thinner and better leverage. Have a rubber mallet on hand, maybe even a box to wrap the glass with if you consider breaking it or using said mallet just in case of breaking. oh.. a glass breaker... a center punch or anything pointy and titanium or hardened steel. we tried a friggin nail and it bent the nail and barely made a divet in the glass (post picts of the glass!!! *lol*) I will post picts of frags i picked up on my thread when the lights come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juiceman Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 It's crazy to see how stained this glass is.... No way the corals in the center were getting enough light! When cutting it out was seeming useless, we tried a hammer and screwdriver, and hammer and nail, then just a good old hammer by itself... This is as far as we got!

Juiceman Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yellow sided Fairy Wrasse and red head Solon wrasse?Correct, we will get a Hawaian Christmas Wrasse, a McKoskers Wrasse, and eventually Flame Wrasse. Not sure when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Nice! Those yellow sided wrasses are stunners! You going to cover your tank? I just had a $100+ wrasse shoot 14" out of a tub the otheryl day, only reason I ask. My red headed solon fairy wrasse did that in my tank about 6 months ago as well. Just a matter of time for wrasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My screen is on there for now, 1 for acclimation of the lights to the center SPS, and 2 to stop the Wrasses from flying during they're initial addition to the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
