How do I know my Mandy is digging her new home?

She is twice as fat as she was in her last home.

Love her In this tank.

Dosing rack complete. Asides from needing paint, I'm satisfied.

And the inspector came by...

My cat is as involved as anyone. Anytime I work on the tank he comes by. And he loves my sump. Funny.

Thanks. I'm structural steel fitter. Nice to apply the skill at home. Love having a welder in the garage. Need one? Lol.

Eli at CaCO3 sells them.

Tough summer for my reef.

But with that said, a new cabinet begins. Need to keep little Sophia out once she begins crawling.

Bought the steel through my boss at work.

Making the cabinet frame/stand reinforcement from HSS 1.5"x1.5" x 3/16".

Two pieces bought at 24' each. That's a start.

Stay tuned.
