Pic updates DIY top, Creation's wrasses, cleaned frag tank!

[jesspete]

As requested, Kels!

Melanarus Wrasse's. Male and female, chilling behind some rocks. Thanks, Creation!

Finished DIY tops! Thanks for the instructions, Dave and Chris!

Cleaned up the frag tank too! Had to put all the cut up cabbage in it's own container. Tacked down a whole bunch of mushrooms that had been sitting in the bottom too.

I really like those custom tops. Any info or a link on how to build them? I've never had a jumper but you never know.

Nice frag setup. I'd love to set up a frag tank but I think my wife would kill me

 

[bclark7169]

[coolsurf]

You did a great job with the tops. I love the wasses. :yes:

[jesspete]

Thanks for all the input!

The tops were super easy to do.

Dave said he used a miter box to cut the frames, but that's because he had to know the edges were PERFECTLY straight even under the corners! We just used a dremel free handed. We spent $22 including tax and have enough materials to pass on to the next reefer and possibly one more after that.

Tanks are a 90 and 20G frag tank. 30G sump. All plumbed together.

Great pics! Thanks for posting!!

 

[jesspete]

No problemo! Off to see St. Augustine with the critter!

 

[ralph atl]

excellent! I'm actually planning on one of those wrasses myself. How big is she?

 

[fraggel rock]

Got any extra bird netting? I need enough to do the top of my solana and the regular screen is blocking too much light.

 

[jesspete]

The female is only about two, two and half inches. Got a male/female pair from Creation and they're GORGEOUS. Heard they just got some more in. Also picked up a mated pair of ORA pink skunk clowns from Einstein's for a RidicUlous price!

I have TONS of birdnetting left and almost pm'ed you. I'm WAY WAY south, but will be giving all my extras to Kelsey (atreyu) sometime this week. There's more than enough for her and you both. I'll pm you when I get it to her. She's closer to you and would make for an easier ride. She'll even have the screen tool.

 

[fraggel rock]

Cool, Thanks Atreyu. I already have my top built so I just need two small pieces of bird netting because the regular window screen just is not working for me. Is your name atreyu like the band or atreyu from the never ending story?

 

[Reefplumber13]

hey kels if you have any of the stuff left let me know plz i need some for my tank

 

[jesspete]

Don't let gilley have any! He might get his head stuck in it and get hurt.

 

[Reefplumber13]

ok well who ever lol and jess is that not what its for?????

 

[cr500_af]

Thanks for the hospitality and babysitting my Gorgonian this long. It sure was nice to let somebody else raise it until it was ready to start school!
