Worm's 180 build - Page 2

worm5406 · 02/28/2013, 10:10 PM

A few new videos:

Alll of these are in HD so it might be best to click on the youtube link and make it full screen. Also select the gear and make it HD. To prevent buffer just pause it for a bit. It really does look so much better in HD than at the low resolution.

8 hr time lapse (with classical music)

Time lapse of Anemone settling in after move to a different location and getting used to flow.

Center lower time lapse

Almost FTS time lapse (had to zoom in some as the whites of the sump blinded it too much)

19 minutes live recording of anemone doing it's thing

worm5406 - Things are coming along nicely. How big is that anemone when its fully opened? The clowns seem to be loving it.

worm5406 · 02/28/2013, 10:27 PM

@nightowl

It is over 12" left to right just on the base, not including the tentacles. So prob close to 18 left to right.

NOVA huh? I am down the street.

worm5406 · 02/28/2013, 10:29 PM

YES.. I know that green stuff is HA... It bloomed when I added my LR seed from my 120 back a while ago.

In the process of removing it.

worm5406 - Man that is huge. What part of MD are you in? I'm out near F&F.

worm5406 · 02/28/2013, 10:56 PM

Just south of DC on the Maryland side. Directly across from Woodbridge actually.

RJT · 03/01/2013, 07:13 PM

Nice videos.

Where did you get the anemone?

worm5406 · 03/02/2013, 12:29 AM

Thanks.

I got it from another member here on RC that lives in the same area.

rpjaws74 · 03/02/2013, 01:23 AM

enjoyed your videos man very informative!!

worm5406 · 03/03/2013, 12:32 AM

Thanks.. I am always making new ones.

If you go to my youtube channel there are a lot more than on here. Some from my old 120, that is now empty.

Thanks btw

worm5406 · 03/04/2013, 08:50 AM

UUgh....

I worked all weekend studding out a wall and putting up drywall. (along with normal household items) I am beat!

I'll put up some pictures tonight and a video.

Next is ceiling, paint, and then I will be done.

If you look at one of the early build videos you will see some of the wall left and right of the tank that is just studs. Just to give you a reference.

bpcardona · 03/04/2013, 09:08 AM

That one hell of a "build" you have going on there. Most of us are overwhelmed with the construction of our stand, and you have a entire room to put together.

BTW, hope you are feeling better. It took me down for a week!

worm5406 · 03/04/2013, 06:15 PM

Some updated pictures from the weekend:

worm5406 · 03/04/2013, 06:30 PM

I am uploading videos now. They will take a bit.

worm5406 · 03/05/2013, 10:08 AM

Well some have uploaded and some failed, I will have to press retry. Here are two though:

worm5406 · 03/05/2013, 10:56 PM

A few more.

A walk around the room:

Anemone and clowns:

Coral on a frag holder:

Newbie Aquarist · 03/05/2013, 11:53 PM

Dude is that a ritteri anemone?

Newbie Aquarist · 03/05/2013, 11:57 PM

Ive heard they need alot of flow and will stay where they are placed. How long has yours stayed in its spot? How long have you had it?

worm5406 · 03/06/2013, 12:01 AM

This one is a new addition to my tank build. If you look at the video in that link you can see the flow that he gets daily.

worm5406 · 03/06/2013, 04:50 PM

A little inhabitant doing his job:

worm5406 · 03/10/2013, 10:59 PM

Well this week I am going to start doing some spackling and getting ready to paint.

I am looking at painting it (top to bottom)

Yellow/ chair rail black / blue below chair rail.

The chair rail will also frame out the tank (in black)

Think of a Hippo Tang (or Dori as everyone seems to call it)

(I actually think of it like a corona box...

)

nightOwl · 03/11/2013, 09:39 PM

worm5406 - I am getting around to catching up and looks like things are coming along nicely. Are you using the mildew resistant drywall? I don't think I have seen it look that green. How do you plan on framing the area under the the tank?

worm5406 · 03/11/2013, 09:50 PM

Yeah the green board is that mildew resistant stuff.

If you look at a front picture:

You will see the green board kind of comes toward the center. There will be two doors that will be edged in a chair rail type material. That will keep the gaps hidden and protect any bleed out light. They will be hinged on the outsides with the opening in the center. The moulding will be the handle for the doors.

The bottom of the tank will have a small build up to make the edge hidden and then frame out the tank. Yeah I want a picture type frame edge on it.

Colors are still going to be Corona colors... but IDK yet.

Newbie Aquarist · 03/11/2013, 10:12 PM

You have some serious carpenter skills. Nice work. Love watching your progression videos over and over again.
