Yeah thats right 465, easier to round it off to 600 with the sump than 590. LOL. Here's a pic of the skimmer working its poor little heart out.

Attachment 8606

I took a million pictures of the Mystery wrasse and this was the best i can come up with.

Attachment 8607

I'm still working on a video, I have some software now but I'll wait for the lights to come on and get the most recent I can. I'll still have to dumb down the quality I guess so i'll play around with it first.

SEXY Tank!!!

I can't wait to show my wife that this is EXACTLY what I want when I buy a house. Oh Snap! That will mean I will have to buy her the HOUSE that SHE wants, just so I can have the TANK that I WANT. Nevermind, I'll just follow along with your Tank Journal instead. Haha!

Hahaha, I'll have to keep you updated regularly to keep from getting new real estate. The tank ain't anywhere near complete yet and I've been so busy that it has been getting neglected.

The tank will eventually be built into the wall with a bar ledge running under it. Bottom half to be stained oak and the top to be some kinda stone work. If all goes as planned that is.

Still waiting on some essential key pieces of livestock. Or at least I think they are essential. I'll post as soon as they are in and happy.

Good luck with Vancouver real estate prices. A lousy fixer-upper for only $750,000.

That's going to look very classy with the bar top in. Well done!
