+BobcatReefer Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hey, I'll take those if you don't want them! Lol. I've got harlequins to feed. [emoji6]I'll let you know if they get out of hand. Very cool to see though - neat to have a completely different eco-environment in the fuge from the tank. Never had one before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BobcatReefer Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just want to point out how great this online community is: A while back, I started a thread asking if anyone knew someone who sewed for a project to create a skirt for my stand, that would be attached by magnets. KimP volunteered out of nowhere, made a test piece, and then the final version, just to do a fun project to help a fellow ARC hobbyist! I'll post pics of the amazing detail and precision when I have a bit more time, but here's the end result:Before: ...............................................................After:Bonus: I found out Kim and I are fish stepparents as she picked up the other Potter's Wrasse so we've both got beautiful sibling fish! Thanks a million, KimP! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 That is awesome KimP! I can't even sew a button! That's so nice of you to do. The tank looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Aww, thanks I'm totally blushing, that was nice of you to say all that. It was a fun, interesting project, so thanks for giving me a shot at it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnKoto Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Ha! Nice start on all the corals and the urchin names are perfect. I would watch out for Stabby Ninja though... he looks like he is plotting something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BobcatReefer Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Also had the first sighting of the Rainsford in a couple of weeks - I had written him off. Seems he's living way down under the rock pile in one of the Orange Diamond's burrows. Looked like he was starving so I turkey basted him some mysis. Really hope once the corals start coming in, he'll get out and about more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christyef Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Bobcat, I've gone back and read the thread and can't seem to find the measurements of your tank? What are the dimensions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BobcatReefer Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 48x18x21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm thinking of getting a new one. Know of one for sale that's also a 75, but can't decide if I want one same length and deeper. I was thinking I wanted longer. I've got another foot of wall to play w/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BobcatReefer Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 I would go deeper for sure. My next tank will be 48x24 footprint minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 So, 48 is good for you? $650 for a tank, stand, and canopy is a steal! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BobcatReefer Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm fine w/ the 48" width, but I also only have 48" to work with, so it's a moot point for me. However, I could put a 24" deep tank in the same location and I've definitely wished the tank was deeper, both for overall tank volume and aquascaping. Ideally, I think I'd like a 72x24x24, but again...that's not in the cards at this house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I was just going to move my current tank when I got my new sofa, but then got to thinking.... Why not jst get a new BIGGER tank! [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnM Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Bigger is always better. I would go longer and deeper from front to back if you can Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
