After a month of cleaning (with NO results) and messuring for a new 3D background. I have finally set my 110gal back up, with all new plumbing to make filter maintenance easier and more readily moveable.
Tank: 110 Gallon 48Lx20Wx30H
I purchased this tank second hand about two years ago. It was probably 15 years old when I purchased it, and it has seen WAY better days. But being my first and only biggish (a word?) tank I have a soft spot for it, scratches and all. The original owner used it for salt water and after he upgraded just moved it to his garage and used it as a quarintine tank. Needless to say it was only half full and had unbelievable amounts of calcium deposits. Which to date I am still unable to remove.
(And I've used it all, vinegar, lemons, acid)
W/D: 45 Gallon 36Lx12Wx24H
After running numerous HOB and canister filters I decided to go with something more efficent in the long run. I researched W/D's (most from MFK, CHOMPERS is the man btw
) and decided to try my hand at building one myself. Lets just say my results varied... although I can now silicon a pretty good free hand bead.
So since its up and cycling I figured I would take a few pictures and share with the people who have influenced me the most, MFK. Thanks guys for all the many posts and for sharing all of your vast knowledge, there is no way I would have ever attempted anything like this on my own.
P.S. She still isn't finished, but I'll add picture's in a few minutes.
