T.I.B.E.T (The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank)

A mini-chronology of the set up of my ~1000g (total volume) reef.

  1. It arrives!

    The tank will hopefully arrive next week. This week its snowed every day all day, and its making getting around the city trecharous. Sadly its not always the weather conditions that make travel so difficult. I sit on the 25th floor and right now its white out conditions; I can't see the building next to us, or any across the streets.

    Because I like driving around guzzling "cheap" gas in my trunk, I drove to the hardware store yesterday and picked up plywood for the tank ...

    I'll take some photos tonight of the tank room, its been progressing. The leg tank is installed, and they layout has been ...
