Sun's DB30g Shallow Rimless

Pardon the mess... lots of construction plus a temporary inhabitant in the tank...  





How much the encrusting gorgonian has taken over 




Frag rack has been overtaken by xenia... 




Fuge/New skimmer!   Look at the growth on some of those mangroves!

 I got my hubby his favorite fish: Toby puffer!




And Ham the pygmy hawk was not impressed there's another camera hog in town...





But he's still the best at posing for pics, even if my skills and camera phone are lacking.





The rest of the gang gives it a good try









The "temporary resident" baby zebra eel (she almost eats more than my adult snowflake did! and much more often)

I always forget to update this thread, hence the photo dump   Was productive this weekend and bought a couple of white brute trashcans to redo my waterchange station, and added some black sand to the 90.

Here's my dry aquascape.

Clock is off on the lights, hence the difference in color, but I thought it was cool for photos:



Lots of caves (plus one very large eel cave!)


I've wanted to use this giant acro in a scape for a long time. It was upside down in my 180, but that doesn't do it justice. 




tall tower from my 360 build that I made even taller



from the side







My goal was to make it as swim-space friendly as possible with an open 'scape with lots of places to do some continuous cruising (at least as much as you can with 4' to work with). My tangs used to love racing around the turns I made in my 360 and wanted to incorporate that same feeling here (and used a lot of the same rocks!). 

Really wanted that feeling of a drop off tank, but also needed a nice cave system for an eel (and this one's pretty sweet) and was inspired by pics of caves with beams of light shining through. Can't tell in these pics as I have my lights sitting haphazardly on the tank, but the light comes through the back on the right side pretty well. It turned out how I pictured in my head, so that's a bonus. 

And I know those scratches are going to drive me nuts!

Fuzzy dwarf lion was feeling photogenic over the weekend. It's the "QT" so I don't algae wipe often, but top down is her best angle anyway.






Astrea snail for reference

Very pretty new inhabitants!
