Jacks Rio 125 (to Be Named)

[Truck]

Looking good Jack you're a bugger though lol, got me thinking of turning my 125 into marine n all it just seems the only thing to do right now lol...the only thing I dont know is if I can get new lighting to fid the roma hood

this scape will be going another 3 or 4 months then its a reef tank with this one, and a planted on with an old rekord 60.

as for the roma, i would buy two hagen glo starter units (so you would have 4*24 watts of HOt5 and make your own hood

nice picture Jack, a quick, 2 minute edit will give you a better colour.

I did it on GIMP very quickly so if you played with it more then you may get it looking even better

oh im liking that!

BAD news after the heater failed it ended up killing everything

this tank has now just got plants in, it is no longer scaped the plants are in pots ready to be sold on here.

anybody who reads this thread can PM for plants but dont PM untill the 5th of april if you want some, because i need to buy some jiffy bags first.

prices as follows

10*10cm square of HC (£6 + P+P) this will go far! and i have about 3 of these
vallis plants (they are huge, some 50 cm high!) individual plants are 30P each or 4 for £1
cryptocoryne wenditii brown and beckettii (you will get a mix) individual plants 10p each (some small some big i will chuck the small ones in for free) or 12 for £1
pogosteemon helferi there are 8 big plants circa 5cm diameter, 50 p each or 8 for £3.

all plants are healthy and algae free. they will be sent second class. and i can only take cash, once cash has been received i will send out the plants. i may at some point be able to take paypal. but that is still a maybe.

if anybody is interested in everything. i will sell it as a job lot for £18+ (P+P)

Thats a shame, hopefully you have learned something from it though. Did you manage to get the latest picture of the tank?

the tank was nuked by the heater and i was so caught up in ripping it apart i forgot

what i want to say to aaron and andy and anybody else that helped me, is thank you you have all helped me through this, and without your knowledge i would not be here. this tank is now being converted to a full blown reef , just saving for live rock now

thanks everyone, it has been a great experience and learning curve

Aw Jack, I was looking forward to following this one since we started ours at about the same time. It didn't even have a name yet...

its a real shame. but i feel now would be a good time to move on rather than start again, but fear not, i have other plans

Wow this looks really good

Good to see you have taken positives from this.

I had a similar situation when I first went pressurised and skimped buying a second hand needle valve.

This failed and came home from work to a urine yellow DC and dead stock!!!

Lesson learnt though and now I buy anything vital brand new.

Good luck with the reef side
