I cant wait either!!!!...this has been in the works since my birthday in July.....Im chomping at the bit for it to move faster, but my disposable income is a limiting factor..especially when Girly keeps needing stuff...at least now with the stand, I have something solid to show off.....and believe me the stand is SOLID......

I know Im gonna love the width......you are so limited to what you can do aquascaping wise in a narrower tank.......Im hoping to have enough time and patience to do something really dramatic and blow people away with the scape........thats the hope anyway......both versions of the 110 have had two overhangs that have a 6-8' projection.....Ive had plenty compliments on them, but with a deeper tank I know I could do a massive overhang......one thing I have always wanted to achieve and never have, is an archway that didnt look fake.....every time Ive tried the arch always looked really cheesy and I ended up scrapping it.....so maybe this time, being that I will hopefully have the time to take my time, I will try again

heres a better than Iphone quality pic of the stand the Laurie took for me (thanks Hun)






and a few randoms












and now a little story about reef irony.......we all know how difficult of a coral goniopora seems to be.....most people cant seem to keep them alive......myself included......Ive tried twice and killed both colonies rather quickly........a while back there was a stn-ing colony of some sps at the shop that I noticed had a small cluster of colonial tunicates on the bottom of the base, so I took the colony home because I have always thought tunicates were cool.......well the tunicates didnt do so well and the chunk of rock has been moved here and there and flipped and twisted trying to get these tunicates happy .....which never did happen, they ended up dieing.....since then, the rock has just been kinda in there, taking up space, so I thought I would turf it to the sump.......but wait....whats that?......a little wee quarter sized hitchhiker goniopora!!!........figures that the two I paid for died and the one I didnt even know I had is doing well
