haha thanks guys


here's some more pictures of what went into seeing this all up

the 150g cube was 3'x3' was too big to fit thru any of the doors, so we had to cut out part of his sunroom and take out the sliding glass door to get it in the house..

And this past weekend we went and picked up a Cali Stingray as well as a Blue Spotted Stingray, both acclimated well and are eating like pigs already =D (did not get the shark that is in the picture)

haha thanks
well, the 150g and the 75g and equipment room was setup in about a month...


and the only reason for the added Lagoon and Frag tank was someone was getting rid of it (literally was going to throw it away) so we took it off their hands and went from there.. its all 1 system but has checkpoints were it can be two seperate systems if we want to shut one side down to do maintance.
