Nice Vid Frankie ...COOLIO

Yeah looked like Blue was gonna get him LOL

Love the family photos and the video !

Did you use a video camera or the digital camera ? The Blue Tang appears a bit aggressive with the others or is it my imagination ?

Frankie · 11-11-2008, 05:35 PM

I used the camera. I am still learning how to use it.
Nah, He rules the tank but the others have no nips or anything. They all get along pretty well. For now. This was just before feeding and he does tend to get attention possessive when I am hanging around the tank. It is getting tight in there though~

Frankie · 11-11-2008, 05:45 PM

Darn Robert! Now you have me worried. The tomini is going into the frag tank. Maybe I need to consider selling the sailfin and just have the yellow and blue. I'll see how it looks after I pull the tomini.

BaxReefs · 11-12-2008, 05:51 PM

Nice vid Frankie!

Is your 120 48" x 24"? It looks deeper in the vid.

How big is you Blue? He's so awesome! I want one!!!

And, I missed it, why are you taking out the tomini?

Frankie · 11-14-2008, 10:10 AM

Sorry Bax for the late response.
Yes my tank is a standard sided 120. The reason why it looks deeper is the coast to coast overflow I built into it during the rebuild.

The ABT is 7" from tail to lip.
I will be using the Tomini tang in the frag tank for algae control. He is the perfect fish for the job. Narrow, doesn't grow to big and spends most of his time cleaning the rocks and glass. Plus I need a friend in the work area

Stacef · 11-14-2008, 10:14 AM

Frankie, I love the C2C overflow! I wish we would've modded ours to have it before setting up!

It's always good to have a friend in the work place, especially if he cleans too!

PEMfish · 11-14-2008, 05:18 PM

Moving the Tang sounds like the perfect solution!

BigAl07 · 11-14-2008, 05:37 PM

I'm with Stace! Love the idea of C2C! I may have to do that on the next one!

I'm still tagging along

Frankie · 11-17-2008, 11:49 PM

I picked up the over flow parts today. Actually I already built it and am waiting for it to cure up. Unfortunately I gave a wrong measurement and the back pane is 1/2" to short. Instead of waiting yet again for them to cut it I decided to go with it. It will work just fine but look a bit strange. It's not worth yet another trip down town for it.
Here are a few shots I just took:

After it is cured I will cut out all the squeezed out silicone and layer in a perfect bead to give it that factory look.

BigAl07 · 11-17-2008, 11:51 PM

It's looking good bro! I like it a LOT!!!

Frankie · 11-18-2008, 12:10 AM

Thanks Allen

I cannot wait to start fragging already! I already have a list going of what I plan on buying also.
My next step is getting the lighting figured out. I have been doing a lot of reading on it and think I have it down.

PEMfish · 11-18-2008, 05:02 PM

What are you planning to go with for the lighting?
