426 Gal L Shape custom

ok time for another update, glad to say house is pretty much 98% done to what we want for now. This of course is not counting the fish tank and all thats involved there. Our sod finally went into the front yard, that was a very happy day for me as now it finally looks like a home.
We also built the fence ourselves over 2 weekends, am semi happy with the results, but the backyards finally starting to be lush grass
Also took the time to set up a 300 gallon rubbermaid in the back yard to cure about 700 lbs of tonga rock. Some of the pieces were so big they were shipped in their own box alone!
The outside set up is nice, i really wanted to get a feel for how tanks act in natural sunlight first hand. So far temps stay from about 76 to 84, certainly not acceptable for anything other than liverock. Ill play around with some different shade cloths, then see what diff covering the tank at night does to keep temps more consistent.

D#$%, just added a few new pics right at end of page 5 so dont forget to look there first
and while im on a role why not some pics from one of the 100 gal rubbermaids
And my pride and joy, been in captivity for nearly 18 years, lots and lots of frags taken from her, and about 30" wide. Little hard to tell with it smashed into the corner like that

Yes, very nice. Thanks for taking the time out to give us an update.
. I assume you were referring to the toadstool that's been in captivity for so long and not the frogspawn, correct?yes i was referring to the toadstool.
As for it looking great, im actually a little irritated it does look so good, there 1 snail in there, no hermits, no crustaceans of any kind. No refugium, and 3 very large producers of waste(tangs)
Something tells me i could do the whole thing again, but fully decked out with cleanup crew and the works, and BAM hair algae on everything, or cyano. I think you see where im going with this

Looks awesome man. Ive been by the shop the past few days dropping my old tank off with Jeff but you were already gone. Ive been out of the country for 3 months so Im finally getting ready to get that hex going again. If I swing by with a rod and flat peice of acrylic you think you would be able to glue em together for me? Pretty please
