Christmas present is finished

[shoregirl2]

Hi all,
Well, for Christmas, my hubby said I could get a new tank, since I finally found a hobby I am sticking with. LOL

I had a 72 gal bowfront SW (3yrs) and now I have a 225 gallon in wall tank. My husband built the stand and canopy he is a stone mason so of course we have a stonefront. He's very handy, but we were very surprised when his canopy and doors came out so well. Still have a little tweaking around the canopy doors, the lights shine trhough, but not bad. Attached you will find a start to finish diary, enjoy. I do, can't stop looking at it, and can't wait to add to it, more live rock and some more fishies.

Beautiful tank. What lights are those? T-5's? and how many are you using size/wattage?
Can't wait to see more.

Hi have t-5's 48" long 54 watt 2 purple actinics, 2 50/50 and 2 daylight all with their own reflectors. I was going to do fish only, but I ended up with a colony of zoos, that were hitchhikers, and now I'm in love with them, so I'll probably get more. Only problem I have an empore angel juv., but I don't no how he'll be later, so I'm not sure if i should invest in anymore until I see how he does.
