Thanks all .... Steve , I had the tank builder add in a piece of black acrylic to the inside of the overflow and then painted the rest of back side to match it . That being said this was probably the only thing i was not pleased with on the tank when I got it. You can see where it was glued on , and does show a little lighter shade of black . I plan on changing it out one of these days , and redoing it . I'm sure it can be done so the glued areas do not show thru on the front side of tank . That being said it is better in my opinion than leaving it visible to see thru.
For those of you dosing your tanks , do you know if you need to add some type of air stone or small powerhead to your buckets or containers if you are mixing more than a month of supply ? I am planning on making custom containers from acrylic to hold 3 + months of Mag,Calc., and Alk. Just trying to see if I should incorporate some form of mixing device in them . TIA -Russ

Haven't had much time lately to post an update on things , keep meaning to , but never get around to it.
Still checking things out on the boards though , so I felt a little guilty and made some time to update things. Tank has almost been on auto pilot since I started on the dosing system and got rid of my reactor, I must say I can't believe I haven't got around to this earlier . All parameters seem to be staying rock solid over the past 5 months or so , and when I need to boost it up for growth using the Profilux doser is so easy , takes 2 secs to up the dosage by a few Ml. and double check it in a week or so and I'm good to go. Only real issue I've had lately is freaking aptaisia growth , ( still on the lookout for a helthy Copperband to add into the mix ) Also looking for reviews on the new line of Deltec Skimmers , I've had my Deltec 902 for 5 years or so and it has been awsome for me , but I'm starting to look around for something new as it's almost time to replace pumps and such on it so I figured I would see how people are liking the new models , and decide from there. Here's a couple of vids I tried with my new Cannon 7d . Please bear with me on the quality as it's definetly going to take a bit to perfect it.

It looks fantastic man!!! Wow, I had forgotten how inspired I was by your tank room and aquascaping. Thanks for the bump and reminding me.

Man the combo of lots of fish and those stags is just awesome!! The tank looks just great, I wish I had gone with a more inspired look for my aquascaping, rather than the "two piles" look.

Incredible looking colonies and really enjoy how you've laid them out as well. Are your fish ever snapping branches off? Some of those look so long and must be delicate!
