    Fingers crossed!

    Just added a couple clowns, a bunch of rics, candy canes, zoas, and some acans. If all goes well I'll add in a few other fish, my shrimps, and last remaining clam next week. On a side note I have a pool table for sale and put in the listing that I would be open to offers of corals (among other things) and someone might be getting me $900 worth of credit to their online store for it!!

    Just got home with more goodies . . . softball sized australian duncan colony, mini birds nest colony, aussie prizm favia, purple rimmed green monti cap, mohawk pally frag, and a nice acro frag that the name escapes me on ATM.

    I will get some pics up later if the duncans feel like opening up.

    i have to say illwill, you've outdone yourself. this tank is amazing, that wave is ridiculous, and the stand/canopy is gorgeous.

    subscribed. cant wait to see what this thing will look like in 6 months with some coral growth

    first I was - WOW! - what a build...
    Then I was - man I am so sorry for the losses...
    Now I just want to know when we get to see the new pics?!?!

    Seriously though. Great build job on the stand, plumbing, gadgets and such. The MP10 is great and I have been using the reef crest mode. WIll be looking for the vid cause that wave in the pics makes me want to try the short pulse.

    Hope the table sells - $900 in corals. That would be SWEET!

    Never heard back from the guy with the corals, but I have a few offers on cars and really high end laptops . . .

    The only reason there has not been any pics is I'm waiting for my aussie duncans to open up. There being really stubborn and just barely popping out. They should come around soon enough, and hopefully by then I'll have my small RBTA back in the tank and get some pics once everything is looking half way decent.

    Pretty nice build, I've always thought of going bigger, but this has made me consider possibly down sizing to something like a 40 breeder and making it a really nice setup with really nice equipment. Good job.

    thanks guitar man, I'm enjoying this little tank a lot more than I thought I would. I kinda feel spoiled now cause I cant ever see having another coral tank without halides, vortechs, a controller, and a cone skimmer.

    here's a couple pics, hopefully those duncans on the left will open up soon and give a little movement to that side of the tank.
