Here is the custom canopy that I had made for my Tank. I also had to RAISE the tank about 3" to bring it to the level I wanted. I did this using 2X4's and creating a base that is bolted to the Sand.

Inspecting the Tank

I will NEVER again have electronics under the tank directly near my Sump. It is absolutely a DISASTER waiting to happen. I have traced SOOO many equip failures due to controller malfunction primarily caused by humidity.. SO I Built a Electrical Cabinet!

It forms a Flush even L shape with my Main tank and will act as a stand for my frag tank!

Rock Scape

ReefRocks came to the rescue with lots of good rock. After placing this in I still felt Like I needed MORE.. So I ordered another 60 Lbs.

My Rock was Drilled and Hidden acrylic Rods were inserted into them. Mortar was used to hold it together.

Very Nice tank.

 

[SPotter]

looking good tristan!! I was wondering where you have been!

 

[asonitez]

Well I had a bout with ICH. Pulled them all out ran UV/OZONE and Kick Ich. Also fed all fish Dr. G's - Saved who I could which was everything except my Kole Tang and sold them off to friends. I wasn't about to keep them in a qurantine tank for weeks on end.

In the mean time I did some Updatin! and Took some Pics.!!!
