Beautiful tank! I had heard the same thing from others about Glass Cages. I'm surprised they are still in business. I'm glad it worked out for you though.

 

And about those pics of your sump.... :)

Sorry tbittner, I'm still trying to organize the sump and back areas. Still a complete mess..

I am about to swap out the ugly white fitting with a black one.

I also added about 9 frags from Atlantis Aquarium since this picture.

Thanks guys... I really appreciate your comments.

Jason, you're welcome to come by. Just let me know, and I'll try to make time.

Very nice! I wish I could set up two tanks, one with an open rock work like yours and one that was packed (like how mine is now). :)

Here's a picture with all the bulbs though:

I've made some small changes, and I'm making a few more design changes within the next week or so. I'll update with pictures then.

 

Chris, sorry I don't have pictures of the stand because it's just bare right now. I plan on finishing the skin by the end of April.

My brain just stopped working for several moments when I saw that photo. Holy cow that is awesome.

 

Is that a school of chromis? That is so awesome ...

It's a very small school/shoal of 13. I'm going to get a few more, but I just hope the original group accepts the new group.

Here are few pieces I got today. Sorry I didn't pull out the tripod, so they're not too sharp. I regret selling my macro lens, so I'm planning on getting a new one soon.

The frags are nice, and I've noticed a wee bit of growth already in some.

 

I also made an order at cherrycorals.com for some lps. The owner is a nice guy.

Arev you going to to paint that return black, make it sink into the back ground? You know you have a great tank when one of the top reef addicts in the club orders a mini clone of it. Looking good dan! I would love to stop by and see it some time.

Yeah. If you look at the other FTSs you can see a 6100 Stream on the Wavysea return. I had that pvc tee painted black (not at the time of the picture), but I have since taken off the Stream. The new elbow fitting is white, but I have one that will replace it that is drying from paint. I'm going to let it continue to dry for a few more days... especially because I can smell the paint on it even after 3 days.

 

I also have a somewhat large rock structure curing at the moment. It's going to go on the left side, and a few of the acro frags you see on the sandbed will be going there.

 

I added 4 new fish the other day - 1 Desjardini tang and 3 Carpenter's flasher wrasses.

 

 

Jason, I'm free most evenings if you want to stop by.
