Looks great Wrassecal! Looks like you got through a couple of algae blooms too.

Thanks, yeah a diatom bloom that made me want to cry and an ich outbreak that did make me cry.........now if I could just master that camera I could get some better macros.

sweet...tank aside (since you already know that looks good) i really like how you refinished the stand. looks nice

 

[wrassecal]

Thanks Leigh, hubby built it. I like it too. When the tank is that big it's nice to have a custome stand and canopy, it's a major piece of furniture. I keep flip-flopping on the lighting though. It's rather blue, the actinics are 2-72" and the others are 4 -48".

Looks real nice...I like the progression shots. It shows how things develope from start to present. My next system I hope to be able to take and save a progression of pics. Thanks for the peek at a very nice system that looks well maintained and established.
Since the family and I are not going your way this summer what are the chances of you and yours coming this way? Still going to see your son?
E-mail me at the link below...we need to discuss the "blue" situation in your reef.

Wrasscal--your tank looks really cool! How great to see the progression like that. Wish I'd done that when setting up my system. Started with a little 55 (which is now my fuge) and a skilter ( ) which was given to me and ended up with a major investment. I see no end in sight either......sigh.......

I will email you about the "Blue" I am happy to say that sons are coming here and soon! The one in Okinawa gets into San Diego on Monday and the one in Kuwait gets into Yuma on the 28th. They both get leave right away so I'm hoping they both get here to Norman and their families by my birthday on the 30th!

nice tank wras

PhoenixRising - I remember when I thought my 55 was a huge tank, now it's either going to be the fuge for this one or now that we've remodeled and enlarged our bedroom I'm thinking maybe a fowlr would really look good in there and I've got a perfectly good 55 with stand empty in the garage
Melody - thank you.

Geez, and I put them there just for you. Can't get rid of them quite yet, haven't put the sump system in...been remodeling part of the house too, but we are almost done and then on to the sump/refugium. At least all the other stuff hanging off the back is hidden

 

[krunk]

looks alot better now, do you plan on adding more lr? Your husband did a VERY nice job on the stand/canopy.
