Thanks Tony, 60 gal should be ready in a few weeks and the 30 gal is going to wait for a bit until I actually have the rest of the system completely up & running.

Don't know about Alberta but maybe Rural Central Alberta

Alright then how about some aquascaping..........there are still a couple more pieces that I want to fit in there but I really like the way it is now.

Right side......

Tank is also cycling now with approx. 180 gals of water from my existing system, topped off with fresh mixed water & 39 vials of Prodibio Start Up.

I like the aquascape Grizz! Lots of vertical room for SPS to grow up up up... if you're into that sort of thing!

[gregzz4]

I'm liking the 'scape too
Tons of room for big colonies

Yet another build that's making me want to redo my 'scape

Keep up the great work Greg !

I hope to have lots of SPS as well as anything else that goes good with this system.

This was attempt 3 & naturally I am sure I will change something yet.

Tons of cruising room for my tangs 390 gals total water so far, it was a shock to see how little there was in the shot glass after I emptied the 39 vials into it.

That's what I'm doing wrong, didn't even get a buzz from that expensive cocktail.
