Thanks eh!!!
Funny thing is I'm just winging it as I go along.....I'm quickly finding out how much I enjoy working with acrylic.

I did a little modification to my hood/light stand.....I didnt like the fact that it was black on the inside, so I painted the inside with white krylon paint...seems to be more reflective now...:smile:

Pretty sure the rock I have for this tank is cured by now(2 months) in my display sump, so I think this weekend I will be putting in.

Do we not get to see what your rock structure looks like? Any thoughts on inhabitants?

So I've been thinking about what to do in this tank for filtration...obviously there isnt any room for a skimmer, but I wanted floating particles to be removed at the least. So I built a little hanging basket from acrylic to fit inside my second chamber of the overflow...figure I could use filter floss and carbon or whatever else I want.

I'm following along and looks pretty good so far :) . Keep up the good work.

I think I will enter the next nano contest if Christy hosts another one.

Just didn't have time for this one.

Cheers

Well I finally got the rock out of my sump, lots of neat shapes so I figured I could come up with something interesting. I really didnt want the pile of rock look so out came the drill and the zap straps. This is whay I came up with.....I like it. Then for fun I threw in a couple of frags just to see what it looks like.
