Barr... as in Tom Barr?

PEMfish · 11-08-2008, 12:39 AM

You said the frag tank is 61g, what are the dimensions?

Frankie · 11-08-2008, 12:39 AM

No, as in Barr Aquatics. Barr Aquatic Systems - Custom Sumps - Beckett Protein Skimmers - Kalk (Nilson) Reactors - Calcium Reactors - Waste Collectors - Reef Systems - Salt Water Systems

47x25x12 I believe.

Great pics bro! Thanks for sharing!!

Nice thread. Although I only skimmed it, I have enjoyed it. I got a couple questions. Sorry if they have already been asked somewhere.

1. How has the zeo change effected you acclimation times/processes for new tank inhabitants if in any way?

2. How does the zeo change effect outgoing frags and colonies FROM your 'near perfect zeo enviroment' to a non-zeo enviroment?

If you havent been paying attention to these aspects, i will gladly help with the research on this subject... Just send me a few of your corals

Nice Pictures Frankie... I was just talking to Stace yesterday about your frag tank... I am thinking of adding one to my system... I like your frag tank.

CAVINCA · 11-10-2008, 01:14 PM

Answers to my questions above are on page 7 for anyone wondering as well.

Frankie · 11-10-2008, 05:13 PM

Wow! And just the other day I was complaining that nobody was checking out my thread.

I think you found the answers to your questions Carl so I will leave them out

Glad you like the aquarium.
Still no call from the glass company. I will wait until Thurs. before I become a pest. I am having to change a few things with my dosing and am waiting on a delivery now from Scott.
Today I took a huge chunk of the Monti out to make a bit more room. I ended up tossing most of it. Eventually I plan on removing the entire colony from the back left corner. It is taking up way to much real estate. Once the frag tank is up and running I plan on a rescape.
Other then that everything is quiet on the reef. Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Im drooling at your stuffs!!! Frag tank and Skimmer are awesome!!

I wish I could build stuff that pretty.... It never quite works out with duck tape and plastic cups.....

Frankie · 11-10-2008, 05:25 PM

Thanks dude

It took me years to get to this point. My best advice is keep reading. I will never forget my first skimmer I built. It was so bad I hid it in shame

Use more Duck tape and add some Gorilla Glue in there for good measure

That's how Frank does it! He's just good at hiding the glue & tape

Frankie · 11-10-2008, 06:07 PM

I love Gorilla Glue! They now have Gorilla tape also

My most favorite episode of The New Yankee Work Shop was when Norm used Gorilla Glue to glue a PVC pipe into a cabinet. He then continued to use his fingers to spread it around. In the next episode he is useing gloves and took them off to show permanently stained fingers from the glue.

I remember watching him do it with my wife and cringing as it got all over his fingers and hand. I knew what was going to happen from experience
