Back in the Saddle Again!! My new 480g In-Wall thread

Siapin,
The rock has been in holding bins curing(cooking) since I moved here. My hope is that they have already cycled up and that I won't have a problem with die off whcih causes the cycle.
Ken,
The tank was still claudy and I have some bubble issue due to over 4000gph going through the sump, or else I would have some better shots of the fish.
Thanks everyone!

Finally got around to restocking the tank, it is no where near where my old system was, I still have to go pick up some of the corals that made it through the crash. A few DFWMAS members are holding them for me.

Uh, we ran into color choice issues so everything is on hold again.....it's amazing how hard it is do decide on paint color....
 
Chuck, paint big splotches on the wall of any final candidates. Really. It's amazing how different those little paint samples look compared to a whole wall. *sigh*

Brent, let's see a full tank shot with your babies in it!
 
It's up and running! I love the depth of the tank, gives so much more dimension to a tank. Great work, amazing looking tank!
 
brent where did you get your rock? the large shelf pieces i mean:D

brent, looking good my man. your carpentry skills are amazing.

what kind of milli is that? looks sexy.

chuck, paint your living room fuschia. hahaha!
 
It actually resembles your willi milli, the body is deep purple and the polyps are a burgandy.
Gabriel, the large shelf pieces were brought in epsecially for one of the big manufacturers of aquaria equipment for his personal tank. I guess it is nice to be one of Walts (Walt Smith) close friends, you get the cream of the crop!!!!!
I will take some full tank shots and equipment shots later today,i just have been working 7 days a week out here, good thing because corals are freakeshly expensive out here in TX. Bali ac' go for more than 100 for the run of the mills.
I have just been jumping on people that are getting out of the hobby or just broke and need some cash.

Good to see everything going so nicely Brent. Is the frag tank up and running yet?
 
The frag system is going to have to be on hold for a while Ken, I got out of work yesterday morning at 7am and it was freaking 88. What the hell, it's freaking hot out here and everyone laughs when I say that it is hot, they just say wait till sept...... Since it is so hot my ac runs 24/7 so my electricity bill is pushing $500, so I really don't think I need to donate any more money to TXU electric.
My chiller is still kicking butt, I am sure glad I went with the 1hp 220v when I did, who knew that I was going to need a larger chiller back then. It runs maybe 3 min every 45 min it keeps the temp at constant 78 no matte how hot it is...
When go back to cali next year I sure will be hitting 104th when I am out there.
