    Well being i haven't posted anything in a wile on this thread i thought i would post a little update on whats happing.;) well as some of you know i just got done making some new diy rock (the diy video i entered in our video contest;D)

    and im waiting on it to cure before i put it in my tanks, so next week when i change the water on them, I'll snap a few pictures of them to show some of the different shapes i came up with. yesterday i ordered a new larger skimmer for my setup:eek:, i don't be leave the old one was big enough to handle the extra water volume i went from (55 gal to 150 gal). and when it gets delivered i will take some photos of that to post here too. thats all for now, So get back to doing your tank maintenance :whip: ;D and look back later for some new pictures.

    Yesterday wile i was doing some test on the tank, i got tired of messing with the test tube holder that came with my api test kit you know the plastic tray thing.
    so i made me a new test tube holder this morning.

    and went from this :angry:

    I like how you organized all the test kit stuff! I have mine in a box with small pieces of egg crate stacked ontop of each other to fit the tubes in. Yours looks a lot better, mine looks ghetto lol
