    Well I know a few of you have been waiting for pics and I finally had time to make my tank thread. It was an exciting switch over from the 75, with a few ups and downs. Plumbing was a little pain, but was resolved. The fiancee and I wanted the Island scape look, we had a scaping competition mid build. I built the left island, she built the right. I think she won of course.... Heres some pics and hope you all enjoy, will update the coral pics soon as I get some nice encrusting on the rocks. Also some nice wrasse pics will be coming up too. ;D

    Here is the first FTS of the reef setup.

    Tank with the Fuge. I built the fuge stand, while waiting for the tank to be built.

    Side shot, dont worry the trigger you see is something we picked up in Kauai made out of seashells. Its suction cupped to the back of the external fuge. ;D

    Heres a shot of the tank and stand open, with an equipment shot. I paid a little more cash for the stand, to have larger doors. Well worth the money.

    Randall's Goby hiding behind an orange lobo, which the flash on the camera makes the lobo look like poo brown. :cry:

    My prized Labout's Wrasse hiding from the camera.

    My Maxima Clam. This guy is a trooper, had full mantle extension the whole time in the bins while setting up the tank and opened up instantly up in the tank.

    Little Mini trachy I picked up from a LFS on some credit. Hes about the size of a Silver Dollar.

    Thank you. I will definitely have more pics up this weekend. ;D

    Thanks. I also do love the scape myself. Gave the coral plenty of space to grow out.
