My aquatic obsession continues...

Hey! Great improvement there!!!

[mseepman]

One of the first things you're going to want to do is to watch the forums for a good used skimmer. Being that you're in Calgary, there are a ton of reefers there and you should be able to find one. The seaclone that you have is one of the worst on the market and will probably let you down in the long run.

Othewise, looking good!

New rockwork is really nice. I like those two feet/columns stretching forward from the pile. Fish should enjoy all the hiding spots too.

Thanks! I do realize I will need a good skimmer...but for the first tank, I didn't want to be one of those people that spent a schwack of money on the thing and then decided that SW wasn't for me. So now that i'm ok with it...a new/better skimmer is in the plans.

Thanks! It took me awhile to get the rocks to a suitable, non-wobbly position. So for the time being, until something makes me tear it all apart and do it again, I won't! lol I really wanted to try the whole, "acrylic rod" thing like another member did, but my husband wasn't wanting to get his drill out...lol (does that sound wierd??)
I think the engineer goby must be hard at work 'cause I have yet to see him except for once since the change happened on Sunday afternoon and the tile fish are seemingly happy.

Looks like you've got lots of room to grow stuff :-)

Yes Kien, I do have lots of room to grow stuff!! LOL *hint, hint*
If you look carefully you'll see the awesome GSP you gave me in the left corner on the sand bed. The Tomato Clowns love making it mad! hahaha

I'm about to do a small jump upgrade, from the 72 bowfront to a custom 110 gallon. We built the tank and it's been tested for leaks (None, Yay!) and we just put the center brace on. Now to make a stand for it (uuugghhh) and somehow make the swap. The new tank is 4' x 2' x 21" (I think..haha). It will certainly give my fish more open swimming room!

See I thought that you were a guy so your name should read MRS wingin it

What upgrading already, I can't speak, shame on you. while you are at it go 280 long is the key just tell the hubby it has to be long its in the constitution of reef keeping.

looks great love the rock work.

hahaha...nope, not a guy.

280 long...ouch...too much work! lol We don't own the house...so moving that much would be scarey!

Hopefully I can remember how to stack the rocks back when I dismantle them all for the move!

Wow thats a great looking tank! I am a huge bow front fan!
