    Ok, I am back.. ;D;D;D;D;D

    I moved and lost all of my fish and most of my coral.:angry: What survived was sold to my LFS who being nice about the loss really helped me out with some good store credit towards my new build. My tank also cracked in the process of moving which really stinks so I had to get a new one..

    I decided to just start fresh and nuked all of my LR so I can build a really nice aquascape that I like.

    I am also in the process of redoing my stand and hood to match my new place a little better than the natural oak I had before. I will start posting pictures after I get my computer back from the apple store(friday) as I am using another computer..

    Its been tough being away, but I will go even bigger and better than I went with the 75.

    Hey, bama
    Sorry to hear your move didn't go so well. Great excuse to upgrade though! Your 75 came out awesome so I'm sure the 90 will too. Can't wait to see it come together.

    Thanks everyone. Sorry for no pics today as I forgot my camera.

    As for work I got my stand stained with a nice mahogany finish which looks great and changed out my rocks from the bleach water to drying for a few days.. In this hot Texas sun the rocks only take a few days to dry which is nice.. Also I have been going to different LFS everyday to keep me in the loop and price shop when it comes time to start making some serious moves.. Oh, on a cool note I got to weigh all of my rock today and found out I have 137lbs when I thought I only had about 100lbs so thats a plus.. also also My mother told me she is so happy I moved back to Houston that she is buying me a few of new fish. She wants me to get another foxface, a clown pair, and a Powder Blue tang so I am going to take her up on the offer..
