Joe's Community build 75g build thread

Thank you, obviously the rock work looks like crap. Waiting in the rest of it to seed in my other tank before u scape it.
 
It's coming along Joe... I actually like your rock work. If you plan on keeping SPS the height would fill in in no time. What light are you using in your sump?
 
Thanks Dre and Jeff no sps for me. Just lps and softies. The light in the sump is a clip on "heat lamp" with a 65w cfl flood light.
 
Woke up to animal chaos in my house this morning. Gfs cat had her tooth stuck in her collar and her mouth was swollen and paws were soaked from trying to get unstuck.

I check my tank every morning before work and i noticed Phillis (my hippo) was missing. Sure enough found her in my filter sock. Pulled her out and put her into the dt. She was floating around sorta swimming but i don't think she'll make it.

Gonna go home on lunch and check to make sure everything is ok. Turned off the return pump so she wouldn't get sucked back down the drain.
 
Mesh that drain tube man! Told ya to do that when we were drilling the tank. Hope she makes it (the fish, not the cat)

This is one of the reasons they make collars specifically for Cats - We'll mainly because they do alot of climbing in tight places, etc and their collars can get caught as basically hang the cat (literally). Cat collars are made to have a 'safety' snap that, when enough pressure is applied (such as the cat 'hanging') it releases vs. a regular dog-type metal latch collar. I dont know if that would have been enough pressure to reason it when it was stuck in her mouth but maybe something to look forward in the future. Otherwise, just make sure its snug (able to fit two fingers between neck / collar) and you should be fine. Just a thought... (Worked at a pet store w/ pups & kittens for several years).
 
Lmao George, the problem is i started making my over flow into a mega flow and haven't put up the guard yet. Will def do it when i get home

We had a break away collar but she refused to keep it on. She would fight with it till it UN snapped.
