Epic Overhaul/Builds: 3D Backgrounds 300g-125g-120g

And sounds like a job for seachem stability... shouldn't Seachem be sending us free stuff by now for how hard we pimp out stability? You especially...

I'm not worried at all. It only rised because I took out the sponge, the established FX5 will pick up the difference in a day or two. If I added Stability at this point, it would be a waist of xmas $$$.

I keep telling you bro, there is no money in FW. Only SW has a market. I don't want to do maintenace on anyones tank but mines. Rich people smell anyway..

WOW, just WOW, Looking at your tank and comparing it to mine, I can really see the difference between a professional and an amatuar fish keeper. Can't wait to grad and start earning $ to quench my thirst for a monster tank like yours. Only a few more years to go!

Thanks for the kind words Ryan! No pro here, I just have different goals at the moment. I hope you do get your dream tank one day! All my tanks were done for dirt cheap.. (no braggin rights on brand new stuff here) That's why its taken me so long.

I think when this is all done you should post full tank shots of all thew tanks.

You guys check www.designsbynature.net latelly? I was talking to Matt about "thin" backgrounds options for my 125 gallon and he told me to check the site for some news... Check it out, copied from the website

Thanks Tomeiko! Between being back at work and holiday shopping I have been a total slacker on finishing my 125 gallon. I'll get my butt in gear soon though.

You're full of ****. Tell that to the (will remain nameless LARGE LFS) maintenance guys that work full time and on 90% freshwater tanks in town. And they don't even advertise anywhere I've seen, and I KNOW they don't do half the work we do. You're just lazy.

I've even got a name for our company... J&J fish something or other...... PERFECT!

I'm too lazy.. You should call it "prestige worldwide" (but you have to call me "dragon") we just need a music video to get it going..

On a seperate on topic note, guess who drilled the acrylic 125 gallon tonight for the "driftwood" install?? I found a good source on teflon studs and wing nuts today too.

I am amazed at you two. Both having a discussion about a potential combined company for the future. I say go for it. Both of you have the drive, potential and the talent to do oustsanding, if not noteworthy "creative" work. You just have to simplify thing for yourselves while doing, as always, praise worthy (on one's knees and bowing) type results in the aquariums the two of you do. Both of you are men of creative visions. Why not name your company, "Visionary Custom Aquariums"? Sounds rather enticing for an Aquarium Company, don't you think? Especially for what you guys do best and are capable of creating, yes?

And the name thing JK47, come on now. "Dragon"? You're not serious, right?
What did you have in mind for ACWO? "Minnow"? Or have you given it thought?

Why would you have to have a music video? I don't quite understand this concept.

Back to the topic at hand and just another small inquiry here, how is drilling a hole in the acrylic 125 for driftwood install going to bennefit the aquarium?
Why not just attach it to a piece of slate by drilling a few holes in the slate, drill a hole or if necessary, two holes latterally through the driftwood, attach the DW to the slate plate with wire ties, and bury deep it in the sand? Then if you wanted to reposition it elsewhere in the tank, this would be possible. Thanks.

Edit: Any updated photo's yet?

Justin is referring to jokes from a movie called Step Brothers. We don't take ourselves too seriously up here in the NW.

Mr. JK47 makes too much money at his big boy job to ever mess around with tanks as a money making venture with me right now. And he has a wife to buy cars for and two kids to buy red skinny jeans for.


He is also doing some very sneaky ninja original stuff for the 125 that no one has done before... that's why he drilled. I have been sworn to secrecy for MONTHS!
