Default 180g round two

Well after a long battle with Dinos for over 5 months, and losing approx 80% of my live goods I was almost ready to give up, finally I broke down the tank and put most of the rock in contanors to cook in the dark, the rest of my livestock ( whats left )transfered in to a 55g and a 70g, I fiqured to start over completely, so I purchaced a new aga dual overflow 180 6x2x2 and make a new stand and cap, what a good time to start a build thread, so off to the lumber store.[IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
finally a coat of stain

I'm glad it didn't make you leave the hobby completely.

Hopefully things work out for you this time around. The stand looks great, by the way. Good luck on your build!
PS: What's that new SW LFS in CR like? The Dragon's Lair (or something like that) I hear their ad on the radio all the time.

I'll have to check them out some time. I don't get over to CR as much anymore though. I like the blue you picked for the back, looks good. I have a paler blue on my 90 which I like, but I think I like yours a little better. Is that tank 72x24x24. If so, do you mind if I ask what brand it is and where you got it from. I'm currently in the process of planning a 180 or 220 build.
