Seeing your tank today was awe inspiring! The pics look phenominal but they still dont come close to seeing it in person! I was truly amazed how the rockwork went together and how open of a design it is. The thought and prep work sure paid off....cant wait to see the tank upstairs now!
p.s. Thanks for the blue mili frag-I was a little worried since it took 3 hrs. to complete my running around and finally getting it out of the bag....its whitish but all the polyps are out tonight-whew!

Chin absolutely fantastic job. I am glad I didn't have a go at it first as you would have put me to shame. I do have a cube of the same size but it's acrylic that I hope to be able to set up in the next year (I think I better invite Anthony up to help me too )
You guys should be very proud of yourselves.

Awsome tank Chin. I have been waiting to see how this one turned out. Great work . Definetly something you should be proud of. I can hardly wait to buy a house so I can build my dream tank.

Hi Chin

Thank you for the Blue Acro. I did not realize that your tank had progessed this far. If I had known I would have been over in a shot. By the way Anthony can Aquascape my tank any time (yours looks fantastic). Just let me know when you are ready for the Green Frogspawn.

Thanks all.
When things were going, I had to move quick to get things done. I had many many many late nights over the Xmas season cuz that was the only time I had to work on the tank ... after the kids are off to bed. So my time to work would be around 9pm to 3am +/- 1 hr. Then I would have to wake up by 6am to get to work
The aquascaping was challenging but was well done by Anthony. All the hours I spent pre-planning seemed like such a waste but the few things that panned out worked out really well. Its hard to see in the pictures but there are so many spaces in and out of the rocks and the center of the rock work has plenty of swimming room for the fish.
Tom - If you don't mind, i'll pick up the frogspawn when I set up the 165. It should be done within a few weeks...... (famous last words but I think its completely do-able)
