I was just more curious than anything, as I agree rimless is a misleading description. I would personally call a tank:
without black trim, trimless
without bracing, braceless
with water constantly overflowing the sides, rimless or edgeless.

I'm not sure who originally thought of the "rimless" tank but I wouldn't call him/her the smartest person in the world. "Hey lets remove the BRACING and call it RIMless" said the douchebag :lol:

All kidding aside I think you made the right choice going with the euro brace, thinner glass = higher clarity.

LOL thanks. I have over 500 pictures and i keeping going through them looking for neat things. i will post some more but photo bucket keeps bringing down the resolution.

Really when it comes to terms, its just a name to me and i don't make a deal out of it. But the tank was designed mostly by red coral (kevin) i gave him an idea of what i wanted and he basically perfected it.

So i guess its time for an update

tonight i am just finishing up sealing my piping and i started to fill my tank with ro water (which is taking forever). I decided not to have it running till i got back from van because it was just 1 more thing for me to worry about while being away

Also while i was in Vancouver I took a trip to J&L. Picked up a Tunze Turbelle Deluxe Multi Controller and 2 Turbelle Nanostream 6055 powerheads. I honestly can't wait to play with this.

To make this post interesting I also met a very respected fellow while i was on the island visiting a friend. So i was in duncan and my friend brought me to this shop that had coral. Noticed that they had Tailored Aquatics in stock so i was explaining something to him when one of the fellows working came up and started talking about the product. ended up being the brad from TA which i had a good laugh after because he totally caught me off guard.

So right now i am hoping Feb 1st my tank is in decent shape and almost finishing cycling. So anyone reading, i am setting up another wicked order than.

Borrowed one of jdigitals camera's. finally got the water all in and busted up my rock to make something i was happy with. But i still need more for the center. One issue i have had in previous tanks is buying to much rock and down the road when buying new coral that comes on larger rock I just couldn't make it fit, so this time i am tryingto avoid that. Now just waiting on the sand which should be in on wednesday.

also included a picture of the wire nightmare i have going which i need to organize lol

If you must have the powerbar, see if you can mount it upside-down under your stand so that any water that happens to be running down a powercord doesn't drip straight down into the powerbar. It is the simplist things that can sometimes save your bacon.

Ya believe me, they dont feal good when you touch them when they're wet.:shocked!:

Big jump since the last update. Any word on the deltec yet? Is it pullin?

thanks for the input. I have the next couple days off work so i am going to be dealing with cleaning up the wires. I hate messy wires but this was just to get everything all running for now. I plan on building a stand beside the tank that will house all the wiring with the power bars and the auto top up once i can get my paws on one. everything will be done once my cycle is complete. than in the spring i still need to skin my stand.

I actually haven't plugged it in for longer than 10 seconds yet doug. I am sure it will be able to pull some stuff right now but it will be running once i get the sand in. I want a filter sock over my drain before i start it up.

Picked up some more rock today. The aqua scaping looks so much better now.

Also here a few pictures of some of the stuff going into my tank that i have in the nightmare 10gal. The zoa's i keep seeing around town, i don't know if it was my lighting but both fixtures brought out the purple/blue in them. Yet the ones i see look brown. Also the birdsnest that i am so suprised that it is alive and growning. It has tripled in size since i bought it, sadly it turned brown but fingers crossed that the color will come back. Than we have the infamous yuma. I love this thing, one of the 2 i kept from my 20nano (the other is a superman yuma).

Thanks for the kind words... It was good to meet you to. The new zoa frag you found is fantastic, very similar to one in our display tank called "tubs". I look forward to a FTS in a few months time.

Looks good! I love that ric/yuma (I can never tell between the two..) What a fantastic colour.
