Sorry, im slow....I had to make a little wier in my overflow to try and stop these Bangaii Frags from getting sucked into my overflow or skimmer.
Also had to throw together a quick urchin !...well, you can call it a blob of epoxy with gutter gaurd stuck in it if you want to...they still didnt know the difference..







The tank, there was a lot of missing pics here....but heres the idea.





I wanted a coast to coast external overflow on this one.



cutting out the weirs...


placing the perimeter bracing....and cutting out







Pre- fiberglassing....






For the sake of getting up to date, ill refrain from all the tid bits of between coats and get to the final coats.....

Great pics Marc

Love the epoxy urchin. When I picked up my baby Bangaii from Deb in Calgary he came with an urchin made of plastic cocktail swords zip tied together I wish I had a pic of it, it was hilarious.

Keep those pics comin, even though I've been to the RC thread its so neat to see them all again
