Great build! Nice! At first I thought why does he have the skimmer in the middle of his living room? Oooooh, fish room!

The two copperbands were doing very well, noone bothered them at all ( they were all together for 4 years) and one day i woke up and both of them had very very red gills and were breathing heavy, i toook them both out and QTed them but they died within 6 hours...it was literally overnight. It looked like a bacteria, disease, maybe parasite attacked their gills. It was a hard one to swallow since they were fine and eating one day and the next both were dead...

Im still searching high/low for a replacement, but wont buy another one until i see it eating

I feed them a frozen cube reef food , i also feed live rotifers daily..they seem to enjoy that time of the day...other than that they catch a mix of what the fish eat,, mysis,brine,rotifers,bloodworms etc..

Everything came out great! Nice job. As for the color of the walls, now of course this is only my opinion but I don't think that red looks very good with your wood work. If it was me I would go with a more neutral tone for the walls, perhaps a tan or something. I think it would contrast nicely with the darker stained woodwork. Hope this helps

I have to agree about the red but I just don't like red... on anything.

HAHA, ive since painted all the others walls and will be changing the red soon.. I do think it looks much better in person with the other walls painted..
