Looks really good so far. I like how those overflows turned out.

Man everyone loves the red and gold acan. Here's a pic with flash. It's eating a snail that fell on it.

What type of lighting do you have for those BEAUTIFUL corals?
As for a "rare" fish, the Mystery Wrasse really don't get too big but you should also consider a golden Midas Blenny. They are very cool and their color would set off your corals nicely. (I have both and they get along well.)

This new tank will be running a 150Watt MH HQI setup. I haven't decided on the bulb yet. Either Phoenix 14k or Radium 20k. The pics you are seeing are under 250MH Reefoptics 20k bulb. I am very satisfied with this bulb.

Well here is an updated shot. I ran out of screws but there will be a brace in the middle too. I'm going to finish it up with the front and sides and the front will have 2 doors on it. Maybe a drawer too?? Not sure yet. The top half is not done either will look like a built in canopy when i'm done then i'll be staining the whole thing cherry. It's slowly coming.

Got the overflows from glass-holes.com

 

[hypertek99]

Well i've been slacking on the stand. Been real busy lately so no time to work on it. I'm going to try to get back to it next week. But in the mean time here is a new chalice i got in today.

 

[rebelprettyboy]

Whats the name on that chalice Hyper?

 

[hypertek99]

Well i bought it as Desert Sunset. So that will be the name i will call it from now on. It actually looks like a reverse flamethrower chalice. But i love it!!! My favorite chalice in my tank now.

 

[hypertek99]

Here's another chalice.

 

[kevin34]

i have never really looked into chalices that much but yours are amazing

how do they grow? Do they grow seperate heads like acans? I dont think I have ever seen a large one. just small frags.

Man those overflows are so trick... way cooler looking and sleeker than a huge box.
