Thanks Ian! So when are you going to upgrade? With all those fish your collecting your going to need a bigger tank soon.

Very nice Brian. How are you going to run your return lines with the bracing like that?

The return is going to run though the over flow. I need to remove some teeth from the back left side of the overflow where the loc-line will be. Do you think I'll have a problem do it this way?

Sweet Brian, looking great. BTW you could also drill a hole in the side of your overflow box and put in a bulk head for the return. That's how my return is configured.

That should be fine Brian. I did not know if you were going to modify the over or not. Sweet Tank Now hurry up and get some water in it

Dan, that what I thought I was doing to do at first but the overflow is glass in inside.

I'm glad it will work. The reason I have the return thought the overflow is that I didn't want pipe all over the place.

As for filling it .... so enough.

Looking good....... in your past picture one of the eurobracing black silicon don't seem to go all the way?? Not sure if it's just the picture taking but you might want to have a look at it....

! The dimensions are 72*36*24

You'll love the 36" width to aquascape... so many options will be available to you.

I will be interested to hear what the manufacturer says about the eurobracing caulk... A.G.E. makes their eurobracing out of a single piece of material...

Looking good!

LL

Thanks Dave, nice to see you tagging long. For angels here is what on the list now. I'll have a few more down the road.

Pair of Flames (Centropyge loriculus)- coming soon
Pair of Paracentropyge multifasciatus
Chaetodontoplus duboulayi
Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis
CXI Pomacanthus imperator
Apolemichthys xanthopunctatus
Pygoplites diacanthus

Those are all the angels on the list as of now. The problem is finding them in the right size, localtion and order. It seem like alot and it might be, but once I start adding them I might narrow down the list.

I'm looking forward to aquascaping. It's one of my favorite thing to do. I might not be that good at it but I do enjoy it.

I'll too be interested in what they have to say about the EBing. Seeing how they had to redo it, which was the reason for the delay. It doesn't worry me to much seeing how all coners are like that. Plus out of the 4.5" of EBing the gap is less than 1/4".

Looks really good Brian. Maybe Gondore and I can come up sometime and admire your tank once you get it all set up. Much bigger than my little build lol.
