They were hinges I bought probably 2 years ago, so I figured I may as well use them. I just couldn't use my original plan with those style hinges. Oh well, I'm still happy with the stand, and really like that it is the same color as the walls behind it. It looks very nice like that.

And thanks, our trip to Kauai was awesome. :)

Update ??????

Myka 07-23-2012 09:15 PM

Yeah, I guess I didn't update this! My Canon G9 died while I was in Hawaii in April, and I didn't take many pics after that since my waterproof camera doesn't take the same quality of photos. I bought another G9 a week ago though, so I should get more pics soon here.

I still need to add a bunch more live rock. I bought a few nice pieces just for the tank a couple months ago, but haven't got around to putting them in the tank. I got a blue Mini Carpet anemone for the tank too. Cool little critters.

Here's May 2nd:

This Aussie Lobo got nailed by its neighbor, and is recovering well:

Here's RBTA. It hosts a young pair of Galaxy Clarkii, but they ditched when they saw the camera.

Awmygawd, sooooooo nice :surprise:!

Myka 07-25-2012 07:35 PM

Yeah, thanks that one's a beauty! I like the damaged Aussie on better though. I have 8 open brains and 6 closed brain corals in there. One of my fav corals.

Myka 07-25-2012 11:36 PM

I added a bunch of rock yesterday and redesigned. I still need to get the last of the corals off the sand, replace the powerheads (they do no good in the boxes), and give that green Sinularia a major pruning, but it's a start...

Wow, that's a nice upgrade

fishytime 07-26-2012 03:44 AM

wow....this thing sure changed in a couple months.....lookin good Mindy!.....can I bug ya for a close up of that cool lookin red/yellow favia type coral that is up front and center in the tank?.....pretty please:wink:

Myka 07-26-2012 07:08 PM

Thanks guys! It changed fast because I already had all the corals stuffed into other tanks. Essentially it was just a drawn out tank transfer. :lol:

Doug, it's actually an Acan echinata. The feeder tentacles are out a bit in the FTS. Orange and green..."Orange Crush" I think it's called? Pic is from March when it was under diff lighting:

Due for an update I suppose. I was working in Alberta all winter again and I came back to a lovely Caulerpa carpet. Three different species even! :eek: So, I ended up picking up the rocks and turning them over to pull all the Caulerpa off. You know how that goes...you pick up a rock and it never goes back to same. So...it got renovated. Still a bunch of Zoa frags in a pile at the front.
