Looks really good!

Thanks, I am very happy with it. We got the hood back today. Here it is all together!

 

[newbieabc]

Nice. I like the stand and hood!!

Awesome hood and stand

 

[grabbitt]

...Oh yeah, nice tank, too

Thanks all. I got the setup used, but the hood had solid side walls. I had a trim carpenter rebuild the hood with open sides. I am very happy with the work done!
The fish are great. We have had our critters for only a week now (got some last weekend and some this weekend) and they have been hours of fun for all of us!

Are you asking about the crab? It is a sally lightfoot crab. The last pic is a single arm of a brittle star. He's shy.

Very nice and I LOVE the sand and copy.

It really completes the entire look of the tank. Look forward to seeing how this tank will look 6 months down the road. There goes your wallet!

Yea, I bought it used, but it was a custom setup. The cabinet has a steel frame inside of it.
Thanks for all of the positive comments! It has been a lot of fun.

I got some more livestock. First is a Sixline Wrasse. That guy is hard to take a pic of! Then I got a Hammer Coral frag and a Zoanthid frag.

Looking good. Nice new additions and I like all the holes the fish can swim through.
