I think your tank looks fantastic, great aquascaping. A new tank is always challenging but the rewards are worth it! Nice job!

Ya, I am not a reefer that can set up a new tank and just have everything work out right from the get go, those who can are pretty talented.

I've always thought that nem wasn't healthy due to the coloring at its base, but it's growing and is super pretty!

I've been searching for some type of furniture for my fish room, not too big but something where I can sit and enjoy my tank. Up until today, if I wanted to sit, I'd grab a chair from the kitchen. Well Jason's boss asked we wanted his theater seating. I'm not too keen on this style of furniture but thought, meh, why not.

Brought it home and it doesn't work in our living room. Jason left 2 pieces in my fish room so I started playing around and this works here. Recliner, automan, cup holders, sweet. The room is actually meant as a dining area, we,ve used it for an office before setting up the tank, so it's not that big. But I'm loving this set up.

Now I really do need to skin the tank as well as find a way to make it quieter. Cripes the running water in the overflow is annoying.

Pics later.

Well having a nice place to relax in front of the tank gives it a different perspective. Have noticed the tank isn't level anymore, water on one side is lower byat least 1/4". Tank runs across the joists and there's a beam just behind where it sits. Nothing noticeable changing in the floor, joists are good, no bending or warping. There's a post under the high side of the tank, do we need to reinforce the other?

The tank sits on carpet and the stand has adjustable feet for leveling. Any suggestions, concerns I should be looking for? Could this be the cause of my sump cracking? It's sits more towards the high side but only by 6".

Ideas?
