    I can't believe how good a job you did with getting your scape to match your original design! ;)

    Very nice job with the scape. I really like the islands.

    Strong work there! Nice structures- looking good!

    Are you planning on adding other rocks as part of the scape as well?

    I was thinking of moving to Montana soon- but yep, all the dental floss tycoon jobs were taken! - I hope you get that joke- Frank Zappa?

    I once heard of a guy in South Africa that caught a 15 inch gem so I had to research again to see if my tank would be ok....... Ill work on the water thing. I need to finalize my plumbing and start mixing water.

    If its not wet by Sunday get a plane ticket and punch me in the head.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    For historically reference. And yeah that is not going to happen to a 6'4 martial arts instructor.

    Lol. It feels good to be gaining traction on this build. I got in two 25g tuff stuff tubs to assist me in waterchanges because my current 125 need some TLC. My wife wants me to build an identical stand for that tank and redo the plumbing all pro.

    Anyway, this will be fun to fill. I am still thinking about a large ATS so I get some experience with building acrylic tanks before I build my wife a house with a 12ft tank. The ATS will be pro.

    Haven't you heard fish don't outgrow the tank you put them in... I read it on the internet, they can't put lies on the internet and I know that because I saw that on T.V. :)
