300 gallon tank - the project begins!

Thanks, appreciate it. Going to soak the driftwood one more night and putting it in the tank tomorrow. I already added the additional 100 pounds of pool filter sand and 40 pounds of crushed coral. It does a lot better job of covering up the ugj system.

We have a commercial kitchen for our business so I am "borrowing it" for a little while. Actually, for about two hours. ;)

The tank is glass.


My wife called and asked what I was doing and I told her cooking rock. She didn't really know what to think. You would think she would understand. Actually, I believe she is to the point since one time she called and I was baking the headlights off of my Ninja. Only baked them at 225* for ten minutes. :naughty:

I thought about getting the busa since it and the zx14 are equivalent. I went with the 14 for four reasons, first it is much more comfortable. Second, insurance is 1/3 as much as for the busa. I pay $440 a year for full coverage. Insurance on the busa would be over $1100 a year. Actually, insurance on any GSX-R is absolutely ridiculous. Way too many squids ride them and end up in a casket. Third, everywhere you look you see a squid on a busa or another gsxr. Forth, most people out there have no idea what the zx14 is capable of, I like that.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that the busa and other gsxr's are amazing machines. There is no arguing the fact that most newbies go straight for a gixxer though and way too many of them end up going down on the ride home. Just about every time you hear about someone dieing on a crotch rocket down here they were riding a gixxer. It has nothing to do with the bike, they are awesome.

With that said, the new R1 is very, very tempting! :WHOA:
 
I added the additional 100 pounds of sand and 40 pounds of crushed coral. I also added the rocks and the driftwood. The tank is still pretty cloudy but this will give an idea of what it looks like.

I'll add a video once it finishes uploading to youtube.
 
Here is a short video. Please ignore all the dust that hasn't settled yet.

God that is sweet. I love the cichlids following the camera!
 
hey hows the "pool" sand working out for you? i am plannin my 963024 as we speak. you have given me great insight with this thread and for that i commend your efforts for keeping us updated after long days of work especially with your injury(btw hope all goes well with your upcoming surgery) i too am tryingg to get a tank up (963024) before my shoulder surgry date (not certain yet next 3-4 months or so) but i have done nothing but plot and scheme.
PS yor tank came out preetty sweet. IT WILL!! clear up nicely.
 
The pool filter sand is great. It looks very nice and it is course enough that I don't have to worry about the filter blowing it around all over the place and ending up in my filter inputs. For $8 a 50 pound bag it just can't be beat in my opinion.
