hay mate what are you sticking your zoes down with ?

[tranced]

aqua kneadit... its hard to use and gives me a killer headache so im going to try superglue instead...

[tranced]

time for an update i guess... excuse the tupperware containers in the tank as im propogating some morphs to fill up the tank with. need to build up the rockwork a tad more, and i think the aquascape will be close to finished. then just sit back an watch it grow!! to assist with that, i just bought a new 6 globe T5HO fitting which should pump out a heap of light!! woohoo!

also excuse the damn damsel that is front row centre in every damn photo!!! its a bit of a camera sl**!!

here the side of the tank



and the front



OK OK OK i will put your damn picture on the internets u stoopid damselfish!!





BLUE STEEL! LOL

(sort of) finished aquscaping the tank now. dunno if im entirely happy with it yet... but i cant really fit anymore rock in, so if anything i will take some bits out. the big zoa rocks near the top of the tank are going to get removed, once i frag all the zoos off them of course currently buying/fraggin morphs, so i will basically frag everything onto pieces of coral rubble and stick the everywhere, then let it all grow.

looks so awsome!!!!!!

I like the scape.

It might help people here too if you post up what you learned hanging that solarmax

[tranced]

hmm ok as requested... this might help anyone trying to hang a solarmax light fixture.

the stuff that comes with the light is DODGEY throw it in the bin, except for the small threaded bits that slot into the light body, i call them 'eyes'. now the default fixture has a metal cylinder body that screws onto the male threaded part of the 'eyes'. however im not sure if by design or pure luck, the 'eyes' also have a female threaded part, this threads size is "metric 6". this is the exact same size that stainless steel balustrading fittings use, so yay.

bascially i just cut the head off a metric 6 bolt, then superguled and screwed it into the 'eyes'. when it set, screw on your stainless steel balustrading fitting, with attached wire and a fitting on the other end to hang it by, and hey presto your done. if i could do it all again, i would hang the light FIRST and then place the tank underneath, it was really hard to get it sitting directly in the middle of the tank, in fact i failed badly and need to move the tank anyway. but meh, that can be done another time.
