They dont look mean lol

they are mean as 2 of them are the red eye...:twised:


you are welcome to come and have them for free...good for only sumps living...

OH almost forgot there is one more the meanest of them all but fun to watch him eat or fight has some green and a bit of red orange on him...

he is about 2 to 3 inches long:biggrin: a smasher you might name him...now can you guess what he is:biggrin:

Its your own version the the 7 dwarf, Eli but you are surely no Snow White :lol:

A mantis shrimp?

thankx Greg that's the nicest comment anyone said to me today:biggrin:


Yes it is a mantis shrimp...not sure what to do with him yet,...will post a photo tomorrow

DAMN!! 2 for 2!! I think that warrants a prize rock or 2 :lol:

Sure you win a prize see below...
When you are ready to get some rock,as you know I pick for everyone then ship but for you we meet and you pick through all I got:thumb: and maybe just maybe get a price break:biggrin:

Do I have to actually physically touch ever single rock first.....:lol:

Yes you have to pick your own pieces weigh it pack it and pay me for your troubles so we could both enjoy the scape addition:biggrin:

Believe that alone is an experience of joy ask the many that did it :biggrin:


How often do you get to pick what you want your system to look by picking through a ton of fijireefrock:biggrin:

Snagged a few plate pieces from Concepts today on my way home from a job, still might need a couple more but first I have to go through the 100lbs of tonga I have hidden in my storage shop.

Ok so I am still waiting ...show some pictures give me incentive to post some of what I picked for my tank...:biggrin:

Boooooo.........no one piece eurobrace? :D

Interested to see where that saved money goes :D

your skimmer has it's own sump? pimpin' ain't easy I guess lol!

No one piece eurobrace as I don't need it as the tank is going to be inwall and to be honest I didn't even wanted any eurobrace well I got no cross bracing as I hate top covering...unless it comes to safety...:biggrin:

:biggrin:yes and I love it and cannot wait. ..

all the extra left over funds will be going into Ultra Aussie corals to add to my collection..:biggrin:..

Here are few more pictures with some walls and the frag system that is tied into the main system and could be detached as stand alone tanks.


Top down photo showing 2 X 30 inches wide by 4 feet long frag systems.the deep wash sink with hot and cold running water,frag table with a drain to the sink..Far right will be a computer wall unit with mini bar fridge for refreshments :biggrin:

its been couple weeks for an update...
The main tank is being cut as we speak,Yes the 10 footer and yes not sure if I should be scared or excited moving the 10ft glass into my house and down to the basement...

Will have tons of photos while moving on Sunday :biggrin: and showing Roger best work turning few sheets of glass to a beautiful tank..

Did you use illustrater to make the 3d models?

So a big bbq at your place to all canreefers Sunday!

Ok course as I would love to...but I think once they find out its tank moving well more like glass panels moving They might start backing away from my house..lol

I would have loved to take more photos but was holding and moving glass yesterday and I must say WoW the build went smooth with no hassle,
Thanks to all the guys that helped and especially Concept and their star builder Roger that made the build look easy as we watched the pro at work,...\

there was no pizza and beer as it happened early in the morning with some donuts coffee and some energy ion drinks:biggrin:

Below are some of the photos I was able to take and I know of at least one person have taken few photos.

Only the 10 foot tank as the rest should be ready in a weeks time.
