It's gonna be a hike for you Steve but I'll make sure you eat well...

Will do Dan, thanks.

that's right Dave, you're right around the corner...sweet.

A few more pics of the front of the house.

Here are 'before' pics of where the tank will go.

I think you're right Steve...

I might need some manpower getting the tank where it needs to go so i might take you up on that in the near future Evan.

Thank you everyone for the kind words.I hope to see you guys once we are open.

Here is a mock up of the tank except for that the height of the overflow will be 10" instead of 6".

Here's a rendering of what the tank will look like.Disregard the corner overflow since there wont be one.I don't know how to make this pdf an image so you'll just have to click on it. 20120807153954038.pdf

Exactly Tom..Right to the left side of the parking lot if you are looking out the front door of HD.It use to be Greenberry Coffee.

Hello everyone, it's been a while but i'm back and I want to show you what i've been up to for the past couple years. As you all know, i've been at Petland helping Ben and Kareem with the fish department for the past 2 years but most of you that know me personally ,knows that my family have been in the restaurant business for the past 30 years and I myself have been in the industry for the past 15 years. Opening my own place has been a goal of mine since I could remember and ever since I got my hands wet , I knew I had to have my dream reef tank somewhere in there.The restaurant will be called Hibiscus Thai Cuisine and is located at the Home Depot Center in Reston,Va.We should be open for business mid March.I will be documenting the restaurant/tank build every step of the way. Tank: 300g built by Adam of Artfully Acrylic.Dimensions are 72x36x26 and will be viewable from 3 sides. Sump: 60g Laguna Tub Return Pump: Snapper/Dart Hybrid Lighting: 4 AI Vega Colors and T5 supplements. Equipment: Geo CaRx , BRS Jumbo GFO and Carbon Reactors, Skimz Protein Skimmer, Kalk Stirrer, GHL Profilux Doser(Glorified ATO lol) Pictures to come so stay tuned!!!!

Ed Zachary....Rob hit it right on the head.You shouldn't have more than 10gph goin thru there.The detritus that settles at the bottom is called mulm and is actually good to have in your fuge. http://theaquariumwiki.com/Mulm

interesting...haven't seen any reviews on it but i must say KZ products are amazing(especially their AA) so i wouldn't doubt that it actually works.I'm going to ask their rep about it next time i have them on the phone....

who cares....10k? who burns those anymore?...lol

Have you checked for pests?AEFW or redbugs?

Hair and bubble algae?sounds like the job for a foxface....

I doubt anything will come of it....but it definitely is a sign That every thing is doing well....

Has to be....

I tried taking a pic but it didn't come out that great.I wish I had a videocamera.

I went downstairs to check on things like i do every night , as i walk by i noticed particles floating around in the tank so i turned the lights on to see what it was and to my surprise it looked like a snowstorm in my tank...I had a coral spawning event.I never thought i'd ever see it happen in my tank so i just wanted to share with you all my excitement......

that's nuts....

Now that's a true rose bubbletip.

either strawberry fields or ATL pink polyp cap.....

bad pic but looks like it could be majanos..
