LoL, at least someone kept it going.
Sorry guys, school's been really busy! As much as I've wanted to do nothing but devote time and effort to the tank, I gotta graduate first. Haha.
KR, no, unfortunately, it's not all wood, but Denzil and I are hoping to fix that. I'm not going to use the stand until I've made it stronger, for sure. Already working with Charlie on it, as well as hopefully doing some of my own ideas. FRP the inside, maybe a wooden skeleton inside, definitely wood bottom with supports, etc.
KimChee vinegar, huh. I'll have to look into that. Yeah, I was pretty bummed that the LimeAway didn't work. Hell, even keeping Saran Wrap and vinegar on it over night didn't do anything. Makes me wonder if I should just not worry about it like Coral reefer mentioned. I'm just being overly anal about it at this point, but I'm also worried it might really show up once the car vinyl goes on....
Still slow going at this point. Unemployed life sucks, although it's doing wonders for school. Working on some great ideas from both Matts at Aqua Exotic. You guys will roll your eyes, but I can sit there and ask tons of questions, and they haven't thrown me out yet... rofl. Given me lots to consider though, which is good. I love that I'm constantly learning new stuff in this hobby. Makes it much more fun.
Can't wait to get my fish in there!! Can't wait to see the tangs hit a growth spurt. The purple tang that came from AE was smaller than my yellow one (very much smaller) and now he's BIGGER than the yellow one. Not to mention the Kole, which went from a measly 2 inches to almost 5-6. It's definitely time to get everyone in the bigger tank. Hopefully after school is over, things can really start rolling.
Please forgive my lack of participation and response. It's going to be crunch time from now until May, and I have to pass my classes.... I don't want to be stuck for another semester... I'll come on when I can, and update when I can. So sorry!
