    Maybe try pulling it out like an inch or less per week, the slow gradual move may make it more willing to become happy in the "sun" lol

    Thanks OFK! Yea I had to make room for all the potential sps that are going to be added over the next few weeks. The 3 big leathers just take up so much room. But I don't want to get rid of them because their so nice.
    I can't move the center one because its on the main rock and well I would have to completely rescale EVERYTHING and I really don't want to do that. But I got one sps and it was all over from there. Now I can't stop.

    Thanks Chris. That's a good idea and what I was thinking of doing. You just reassured me that what I thought was a good idea.

    Tonight I finished a couple diy projects I've been working on the past day or so.
    I got a little carried away with the acrylic and just started to have fun.
    First is my diy frag rack. I used my old mag float for the magnet. I didn't want to but I also didn't want to go in search of some reef safe magnets. So I used what I had lying around.
    It's constructed out of 3/8" acrylic and pretty heavy duty. It can hold 18 plugs if I wasn't using the mag float but can house 15 currently. So here are some pics.

    Then at the same time I decided I was going to make a top down box. This was fun and interesting.

    And now for some images never seen before. Some top down shots. The lights were off and I turned the blues on so everything was sleeping.

    The images aren't that good but it was my first top down so I have to get used to the light.

    Hope you enjoyed this segment from the DIY network.

    Both projects turned out really good man!!!! Definitely have potential to get some good top down shots now :)

    Tank is definitely progressing nicely as well, keep up the good work Will!
