Thanks Doug, I think I have to change the rock work to help distribute the pressure from the closed loop. Everything has done great in the move.

I noticed that I did not show the skimmers working there magic with the carbon boxes that I built out of acrylic.





Also had a nice addition to my clam collection from Terry. I have been giving him a hard time with the clam in a nano for the size of the clam. He finally gave in to the darkside.




And my little BTA seems to like it as well.

WOW Greg the tank is really coming together, I really like the 8 foot shallow effect! I will PM you as soon as I make the frags and then they should be good in 2-3 weeks.

you had me at 8' .... this thread not only inspires me it gives me future ideas for a tank build 5 year plan. all in all its nice to see how all ppl in love with this hobby come together to help each other out. where a teasing over a clam goes from one tank to another. how a sale of a tank comes at the perfect moment to complete the build. there is more to a build than water,fish,corals,rocks.....friendship memories and dreams.

ok im done being creepy congrat on the 10 k
