Blonde tang, Clown & blue came from LA.

I also got 5 Antheias (sp?), but they are still in hiding.

how many tangs do you plan on having?
I was just trying to figure out where i can hang my controls so the light wont bother me.
The inside of my stand doors will be perfect

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Finally got Kalk reactor running & electronics attached.

Getting close to being done with set up.

I like tangs so I figure to get 5-6 more.

I used 2 sided tape & velcro to attach them.

I have 6 anthias that have not got comfortable & come out yet.

Hawkfish is about 4 yrs old & betta is about 12yrs old. It is great having caves for the beta to hover in so that I can see him more than before.

Skimmer is kicking ***, I had to vent it outside in case it overflowed & the room started to smell like a big fart.

Plumbing is doing great. Do's & don'ts? The only thing i can say is that if you are not excellent at it, then have someone great at it help you. Plumbing is for ever & the gray is expensive to screw up.

Really love those doors/panels. Are those made out of solid granite/stone? If so how did were they attached?

 

[AJT]

No they have formica granite pattern over the wood.

That's what I had to do, plumb in a vented fan to the outside so it could pull that awful smell to the outside.

First off, great tank! I love the granite look. On a side note, I couldn't help but notice what seemed to be the dry side of a MP40 (or MP60) sitting on the floor of the tank???

 

[AJT]

Yes the 40 wet side fell as well as the dry side. I didn't have it secured to the tank yet.

I upgraded the controlers & will reinstall this week.
