I could imagine sitting there and drinking my morning coffee, afternoon Bailey's coffee, after dinner Spanish coffee. Yup could sit there all day. :wink:

Looks good, I'm going to have to get out there some day and have a look.

Those chairs look super comfy, what a great place to sit and relax and enjoy the view :biggrin:

I got the better view tho I can see out the back window and watch the golf course when the fish frustrate me

I REALLY like what you've done. Then again, I'm sitting beside something very similar, so I had better like it!

Not sure if you noticed yet or not but it was it tank that inspired us, had to change up rock used and style of bar ledge so it didn't look like a complete copy. I spent so many nights reading your thread and the pictures of your build. Heck I even copied your stand framing

Sweet :biggrin:

I just read through your thread. Ypu have done a great job of creating a very attractive and well thought through tank. The rock work and ledge gives it a great apperance - very good!

Great pic's but I must say the tank is all the more impressive in person :biggrin:

Thanks again for picking up the frags and pump for me, enjoy your new additions :biggrin:

Wow the purple of the carpet really pops.

Happy with the 4 lights so far? I recall earlier you said something about maybe adding more down the road if need be.

Ill grab some pics of the green carpet later here for you too, as for lighting Iam on the fence i have them programmed right now and it looks really natural more on the yellow side but it looks like the tank is sunlit. I might want them more on the blue side for ascetics more than anything tho. Lights are about a foot above the tank and max power at 60 % we have had to move corals and clams under ledges as they were bleaching. That being said i think i could have gotten away with 3, I dont have much rock work in here but really nice coverage.

Here is a crappy shot but the tank is really well lit I think

Amazing work. I love the raw wood mantle edging you have done ... it looks phenomenal. The stone and raw wood go very well together. It looks like cottage decor ... beautiful.

It was nice to see it in person. Rock work alone looks awesome on every angle.

It was good meeting you as well thanks for coming out :smile:

Awesome Pictures
 

Great Top down shots and some pretty nice fish in your tank...

No, thank you for the mp10 grill and rotifers. Didn't realize that my son has been sitting in the car with my wife for 10+ min when I told them that ill take 1 minute lol. I can't stop looking at those nems (what kind of nems btw?) they really pop under those mitras! Anyways I can't wait to see your tank full of sps.

Stichodactyla giganteas

What a great build ! Like the stone work with the bar ledge, always wanted to do something similar. Love this clown where did you find it ?

Haha, love the Doree and Nemo in the window. Nice looking tank too :)

Ohhhhhh!....that makes more sense....for a minute there, I thought he had one MASSIVE clownfish:mrgreen:

Lookin good there Wester

Those colonies definitely make the tank look more full.

Looks great.

I really like your tank.
Love how you did the stand....
Its making me rethink my next build ....
How many pounds of rock in the display?

Yea Wes. No update since April. Quit lurking and start posting.

Thanks I spent a little more than I wanted on the stand but like it the canopy on the oter hand well that's a work in progress.
Not sure I think 200 pounds of rock I just wanted islands

Well nothing to update I bought a boat and spend the summer fishing ", now this winter stupid busy with work.

We had a bad year added one more fish into the tank and got a disease lost 30 of my fish I had for 5 years or so
We were gone on a fishing trip this summer and the power went out for a while I guess, lost all my corals except one clam I had so that sucked.

This morning I woke up and my 13 inch maxima we had for years is gone looked fine yesterday.

Still having algae issues in the tank cut back lighting doing lots of water changes and running zeo

Heard dead rock can leach for over 18 months well I am over 12 in now so here's hoping.

I will update once my Christmas presents arrive .
