Yes he is. Once I get my display tank stocked like I want I will transfer him over.

Who are you kidding? That's not a Frag tank, you may tell your wife that, but we know its another display tank in the making
Believe it not she believes me. But it is also a good thing she doesn't read my thread. She rarely goes to the back except to sweep the fish room.

Thanks Ricardo. It took lots and lots of patience. Especially in my frag(new display tank according to dorcommer) tank. Finally got rid of all the diatoms and hair algae that was there.

600 Gallon Upgrade Build
You know, I've been concentrating on other areas of this build like stocking and lighting that I forgot about the look of the build.
I had a cabinet built
Then I recently(yesterday) added the doors to it
I still have to add the magnets to the doors so they can fully close.
And the base has been laid to place a granite slab.
Also here is my newest addition to the tank. I finally got a tru unicorn. He's a little skinny now but that won't last for long.
Plus I have a special surprise for dotcommer also.

I know. He's only been in the tank since Friday. He is catching on to the feeding cycle. He's by far the largest fish in the DT.
Believe it or not it's actually acrylic. I'm thinking of putting a design on the doors as I don't want all the wires to be scene.

Wayne, I don't know how creative you are or aren't but just a suggestion: investigate the world of faux stained glass painting. There's a whole world of craft products that people are using to imitate stained glass pictures. It can be realistic or totally abstract. You can get clear coats to layer between different media to create all sorts of effects. The sky's the limit on this stuff. I leave it up to your imagination.

I don't mind the clear acrylic but then again i don't want to see the back room either.
I was thinking of doing some stencils Dave but that is a great idea also.

Have you seen Wayne? The standard Kessil360 on sale. Your tank is relatively shallow. You could get the wide angle ones in 10K and then do a diy fixture for some t5 actinic. That would look really good with great shimmer and good pop on the colors. Sunrise and sunset could be controlled easily with an apex.
