Well ,Some times i amaze even ME!:eek: :beer:
lets see,,,
after water tests/dosing
made up a bunch of RO/DI,,,daily occurence
went out to work on the 1952 Ford 8n tractor's 3 pt hitch hyd. pump(any experts PLEASE EMAIL ME!)
put fresh/Stabil'ized fuel in da generator ,and fired it up for it's monthly running,,,

i was thinking of the SPS frags i got from IMAC last Sunday,knew i wanted to construct a "ledge" to hold them up in the tank .if you saw my tank, you would agree .I HAVE NO PLACE TO PUT THEM!
:idea: I'll make a shelf/ledge to mount on the glass to hold them,,
the frags are mounted on large plastic screws , and the place i got them from , had a acrylic plate w/holes.
i got out some old Oceanic wet/dry plastic grate (i throw nothing away,,,the "Junk " part of Junkzoo) went into my bag of new/old /dead suction cups, found a never used suction cup mounting plate from a old Rio,,some cable ties and some reef glue,,TA DA!
plus i used my band saw,,,(guy thing points;) )
the holes are perfect for the frags , they are up higher towards the light/current,,
after this looong post ,,just a insight to my day and how i do things,,,here there, here there,,:rolleyes:
actually, my real question is:
can i keep these frags fairly close together? they are prob 2" frags,,and now are about spread out about 2-3 " apart(for now)
sorry Geoff and everyone,,,no pics of my creation,,,camera is currently loaned out,,,:(

I have used an old betta condo thing, drilled bigger holes in it but my problem was the tang would graze off it and back I would be to stand the frags back up. Just too lazy to cut some eggcrate for spacers or something for them to lean against.

band saw thats funny

ziggy, like i said the frags are mounted on a plastic screw deal, so the eggcrate hole of the Oceanic grating worked well,,sorta like a screwdriver inna rack deal,,,
(e-back pats to me!):beer: :dance:
heck , i'm gonna make up another one tonite, so's i can put the pre-ship frags up and out of the way,,,,i have virtually NO tank bottom space,and NO spots in the LR,,hence the frag bunk beds!
(thanks for that one ,Geoff);)
