Well I got a start on the aquascaping.

It was/is my intention to have the main structure solid and permanent. Most of it was connected using 1/2" acrylic tubing. Each rock was drilled using a
1/2" massonary bit. I was very surprised at how easy it was to drill the rock. FYI - if your going to do this - I bought the cheapest bit ($8.00) I could find at Canadian tire and it was a breeze.

I have a glass bottom at the time but will be going to sand in the near future.

Couple of closet ups





Zoa garden - I'm not finished with this yet - what I see in my mind is not what I see in my tank. Best thing for Zoas for growth is to put them where you want them and don't move! Over the next week I will get it how I want it.



One on my clams

As I already said I am not totaly done but it is a good start.

Next on the list:

1 - finish plumbing

2 - trim the top ledge in maple

3 - build canopy and cover overflow to wall.

4 - think of whats going to be next

One thing about this hobby a person can always find something to work on. Then when you think you have it all complete - time for a bigger tank

So what do you all think?

great job on the move! I know exactly how stressful, messy and potentially demoralizing it can be! I think you executed it wonderfully!

Also, great job on the aquascaping!

Looking Good! Not a huge fan of the output but otherwise looking really good. Lets see another FTS with the stand in the pic

I think the output is temporary. Right Jeff?

Ya this is temporary!

As I said I went into panic mode as I thought my fish were in danger. I gathered all the plumbing I had ans made the best out of it. Even to the poing of wrapping one of the joints with tape as I thought it was going to leak




My overflow only has one pipe coming out of it going to the sump, the other two are just plugged. The coral is in the overflow to protect from my Sailfin which seam to have developed a taste for it



This is a very very special mode - scotch tape for a cap lol.



This is VERY mickey moused



This week I will have the plumbing done and done proper. My over

Jeff just wondering how long did you have the fish out of the old tank before putting them in the new tank? Trying to sort that all out too!

So far its looking great and I can only sit in front of my computer in anticipation for the final plumbing & the cover to be in place!

Just looking at my own tank, I wish I had that much room to open things up and not have the tank look dominated by the rock - I think yours is already looking balanced and will be awesome as things settle in and grow out.

Knowing your room & the tank placement, I think its going to be a really good setup, kinda tapering away from the house wall, into the open space of the room. If it wasn't already, it'll definitely be a show stopper, now!
