A few small updates on the construction front:
- paint and carpet in - current tank moved from kitchen to basement. wife rejoices! The tiled pocket in the wall is a wall-fountain and has a 10 gallon hidden in the wall's bottom. It will be run with an eheim 1260. I went through the trouble of exhanging a mag5 that was too loud with an eheim 1250. Plumbed it only to find it didn't have the juice to get the water up over the wall! Doh!

Now I'd like to share some pics of my current tank. It's only been setup for 2 days so a few things haven't fully returned to their former glories (Mushrooms, coco-worm). I've been really busy with renos and quite depressed about my battle with a red hair algae. I spent 4 hours hand-pulling it from a few rocks and the rest of the rock i placed upside down to light-starve it. I also went into a murderous frenzy and tooth-brushed about a million rogue feather dusters that had taken over. I did all my plucking in-tank and simply rinsed my fingers off in the overflow each time. All the algae was collected in a filter floss trap in the sump. I highly recommend this method!
Things are looking up... In the tank I have: - frogspawn - blue/green mushrooms - capinella - some green, red and other miscellaneous zoos - pulsing xenia - hawaiian feather duster - pink yuma that I've never gotten to 'fill out' like when I bought it - gsp - orchid dottyback - lawnmower blenny - 2 tomatoes - cleaner shrimp large anonymous crab which i tried forever to kill but decided to leave in-tank when i dismantled it and had a chance to get him. He's been a good guy and has fought hard to stay =) in the sump is a green brittle star. I was worried about him in the tank after i bought him. crabs were attacking him for his food. I then discovered he's a fish HUNTER. SUMP!!! Pics in no particular order:

Very cool Brett. I just moved into my new house which has an undeveloped basment as well. Its good to get ideas from other people for my future reno's. One thing though; aren't you worried about accidentally slamming those top doors and breaking them?
