Steve's Tank Build

I like the aquascape it gives lots of holes to hide in

ya its not bad, the new guy came over and helped me, thanks Justin.. best brother in-law ever...... now that i can see in it though i do want to make some passage ways through to the other side so the fish will be able to swim from both sides of the tank and still be viewed while still leaving ample hiding spaces, also want to make sure there are lots of ledges where coral can go.... god i cant wait for my new light haha..thanks for all the input..keep it coming.. its appreciated

on a side note...would anyone be interested in a directional book on building your own tank stand and canopy? im toying with the idea of writing one..and no i wont make the stands in the book short like mine :P just want to see if there is even an interest out there????

I think this is a great idea Steve. Write a book so Justin and I will have something to go off of incase you die hahahahahah
Oh and feel free to do different kinds of tanks/overflows/etc. Don't forget to do up directions for a corner tank

I think you should just do up an entire DIY book for Justin and I hahah

Alright well there is fish and some starter coral in the tank now...thought i would show u guys some pics.. unfortunately some of the fish that entered the new tank have passed on... i have now had a clown, a cleaner wrasse, and my beautiful juvenile orange shoulder tang die. Live and learn i guess... but none the less thats life and here are some pics of the tank thus far... hope everyone enjoys










my lill buddy Kermit the scooter blenny :P



K.I.A. R.I.P.

oh and just for the heck of it.... this is what im using for my overflow to prevent anyone from going for a ride into the sump or getting stuck in the gate valve.... its a return for a pond but it fits perfectly in my overflow and the holes are to big and too many for it to clog up...perfect.. the only thing that might be able to get through would be one of my really tiny fish or maybe a shrimp....maybe



well thanks for checking it out...hope u all are enjoying so far
