Some blurry pics of my Solana. I last posted in this thread months ago when my tank was being set up.
Redid the aquascaping recently, made some towers. Blurry picture:
My new jawfish, I made him a PVC home and epoxied that scallop shell to it.
Thought I would get some feedback.

1 inch PVC is what I used. I was looking for barnacle shells to epoxy to the opening but couldn't find any. So I got some scallop shells instead.
You can also see the holes I drilled in the PVC, I wanted small holes for a little bit of water flow. Not huge so a bunch of sand will fall through. I'm not sure exactly how much water flows through it, but the guy who originally did this drilled holes, so I did too.

Very nice progress aklee987...looks awesome.
Also made a mesh lid for the tank. I used 1/2" acrylic, if I had to do it again, I would go with thinner. I was worried about bowing of the frame, but the acrylic is stronger than it looks. Plus, the mesh I used does not pull on it very hard. Here are some pics.
That is a scrap piece of mesh, when I get the time, I'll put one on that is not torn.
It doesn't seem to block much light at all, the clam does not even notice when I take it on and off.

I didn't, because I read a lot of these same issues with UPS and Fed Ex, and so I had my LFS order it from their local distributor and it was shipped on a pallet and not tossed about...you should probably try this method or keep risking damaged goods.
I just sent back my 2nd failed attempt today, actually.
I was told that I get one more chance then I just get a refund.
Apparently they didn't take kindly to me telling them that the words "FRAGILE" and "GLASS" should be on the outside of the box... :eek1: A little padding in the box would have helped too...

I almost became a member of the Solana club today, but UPS delivered the tank cracked.
Oh well, maybe next week.

I ordered mine from the LFS. My tank and stand were fine however my Disco ball light was dented and was missing the instuctions and was very dirty I think the LFS repacked an older light they had lying around and hoped I wouldnt notice. They are however replacing it free of charge but now I have to wait. I hate waiting.
