Your stand is made from a small forest but I guess no more chances right?

Looks good, I bet you always wanted a 120 anyway.

Sor far so good, i still need to rearrange some of the rock work but i seems everything is doing alright. I take some more pictures maybe tonight. My powder brown tang appears to have gotten a big case of the ich. Other than that everyone is doing alright!

Yeah Steve, my wife gets scared pretty easy so we built the stand like a tank, and she told me, "next time this happens you are done! So we built it like a tank! The last upgrade i did was under similar circumstances, when we were moving into this house the last thing to get moved was my old 33gal, when we were lifting it off the stand the drain elbow got caught and caused the bottom pain to crack. So NONE of my ugrades have been a slow and easy process! And say who doesn't want an upgrade

LOL i wish!! I have to make up the money for buying the new tank somehow! This was a VERY unexpected purchase, and with our first baby coming in July, im sure we will need the money!
