I think it looks great Tony. Love the shelf!
I have really noticed that some fish definitely prefer hanging out under outcroppings, wherever they can find them.
I think it's a behaviour one would want to try to accommodate.

Those are exciting pics man. The rest is patience and waiting and then you can unleash your hoard upon that glass box. Maybe a bunch of ppl do this but Greg shared a great tip with me the other day...use a pvc pipe with a curved end and a funnel to add sand to the tank. No mess on the rocks and you can get it under the rocks too.

I like the nice open space for wires and controllers. Something I certainly never had and moving things or eventually servicing them would have been a nightmare. I also zip-tied all my stuff into one which was SMRT.

I like it!

The shelves really are a bitch, aren't they? I don't want to remember how long I spent fartin' around with them. Finally took a hammer and busted one of them down to smaller pieces. I like what you've got going on there Tony. Once you get some corals and a few of your nems in there it's gonna be top-notch. There are some very nice pieces in that rock, with lots of holes and what not. Fishies are going to love you for it.

Well, Tony better put a cover on that cube before they try their hand, (or fins), at moving themselves over.

I really like your little shelf/bomie thing going on on the left. I think it looks great actually. I think half the battle is getting the rock in the tank, and the second half is placing things on it well.

I'll take your stock piled rock off your hands. I'm going to need it in about 3 weeks.

So both waveboxes failed tonight. (I laugh, because if I don't, I think I might cry. ) Oh seriously FFS, where it does it end? What a ridiculous gong show everything has to be. I can only hope my stupid little predicaments and FML moments make others happy for a few brief instants so that at least I can think that some good can come out these happy little moments..

No seriously FFS, FFS, FFS, FFS!!!! I am NOT HAPPY.

I'm too ticked to deal with it tonight ... maybe tomorrow night but lalalalala of course Monday evening is a night DW works so I have to chase the kidlets all night instead. What the heck, what's another night at this point!!! GRRRRRRR!

I'm really starting to wonder if this is the hobby for me! I'd say I'd start up knitting but I think me and knitting needles is probably a really bad combo! Who knows what sort of delicious freak knitting accident I could cause to happen!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

La la la la I have this hobby because it helps me deal with stress la la la la la la la la la!
