I guess I am just lazy. I was trying to get away with it. I am on too many boards. Lol...
Here are some preliminary pics. He put on the molding today. He also has to add two more braces in the rear and build the doors. He also had to build my canopy as well. My husband is not liking me much lately.

Sweet! Can't wait to see it up and running!

 

[MaryG]

Me too! It is not moving fast enough.

 

[maxheadroom]

Any updates?

 

[MaryG]

Boy, where do I start. Well I bought a true red bubble tip. It has already split once and is splitting again. My maroon bubble tip split into 4 pieces the first time it split. My Clarkii's just laid their 4th or 5th set of eggs. My blue tuxedo urchin broadcast spawned the other night. I swear I am not putting Viagra into the tank! Here are some updated pics from the meeting I had at my house.

Sorry, I haven't updated. I seen more action on ircreefing.com and spacecoastreefclub.com. Pretty good sites you should check it out. The TC-Frag has been too quiet for me.

OMG mary your tank looks great! and the video of the eggs is adorable!! Ill have to come visit you and see it in real life. How is your mom doing>?

hope all is well, maybe we'll catch up soon. Ive been working alot (thankfully) which leaves little time for the hobby, but Im trying to get back into it because it is so rewarding.

Talk to you soon

Very nice, Mary!!!

 

[MaryG]

Thanks guys. It is better in person. Lol..
I just picked up a 120 today that is going to be a FOWLR tank. Got a good deal on some LR and LS.

 

[maxheadroom]

I'm filling up my 150 rimless right now.

 

[MaryG]

Any pics Anthony?

[MaryG]

Great job Anthony. Can't wait to see it filled. It's nice that you got to use the stand again. My hubbie is gonna kill me because he has to build me another one. :lol:

 

[maxheadroom]

I had to mod the stand a little because of the center overflow. It took 7 days to break down the 90, mod the stand, and set up the new one. I'm gonna need longer arms!

 

[MaryG]

Yeah you'll be needing some longer arms just like me and a stool

 

[MaryG]

Ah....I miss my 180. Probably should have never sold it :-(

 

[maxheadroom]

You shouldn't have! Lol. I ended up cracking the one I had in the pics above during a move.

 

[MaryG]

Damn that sucks! I want my corals back! :-(

I had some really nice pieces. Wish I had them on my new tank. I guess I'll just have to brush off my hands and put my big girl panties on and start anew!
