    After a year of running, I will be taking this down to be transferred to the 193g in wall I am nearly finished with.

    I started this in August of 08 when we bought the house. I transferred my 35g to the 90g.

    Hopefully the 90g will be transferred to the bigger tank this weekend, or at least early next week.

    yeah, the reflectors on the halides suck and throw that much light out the front. Those reflectors will be upgraded as soon as I can for the new tank.

    I will need to finish the lower on the canopy with a piece of 1x4 maple to match the rest of the canopy. This is one of those AGA mission canopies that was poorly designed, even if they were made to be used for VHO or PC. Only the top opened up, and they were too short to run halides. Doc frag has a same design canopy on his 180 that he had to raise up as well, even with using all t5s on his tank. I never got around to getting the canopy finished the way I wanted it, but I will before I sell the 90g RR canopy and stand. I have been too busy getting the 193 done to worry about aesthetics on a tank I will be taking down. ;)

    those are some older ones.

    All the frags on that frag rock are either touching, or almost touching, and I even sold one of those green Birdsnests.

    Since I am digging through p bucket...here are some pics from my Fijian experience.
