Well just a quick update found me a auto top off container that will have to work for now, until I can really figure out how my electrical is all gonna sit in the stand.

Finally frigging found some 1/4 mesh for a proper screen in this city. About two hours after I placed my brs order for some. As you can see in the photo the screen I found at Canadian tire was to large . But this golden acre plastic chicken wire was the ticket. Was 30 for a roll.

On the upside of the golden acre visit. I found me a really kick butt plant. So I had to have it .

Since Monday sucks for a lot of people. I figure I may as well post some fts. Got the biocube ( my old main ) transferred last night. No one was found upside down this morning so I'm happy. As to where the Blue spot jawfish is digging in his new home is yet to be found.

Lights are currently ramping up. And they really mess with the iPhone camera.

Current inhabitants - yellow wrasse - ruby head wrasse - coral beauty - lawn mower Benny - blue spot jawfish - 2 x semi Picasso clowns - 3 x lyretail anthias 2 female 1 male - cleaner shrimp.

Almost forgot - special thanks to concept for being so awsome and helping me along with this build.

Tank - sump built by concept
Everything I had to buy was also purchased there. Except for the heater :)

And Dave's awesome advice on the top trim. Yes there is a screen top on there when the pictures were taken.

fts now that the lights are ramping up

Operation kitchen table was a big success tonight, now I have somewhere to sit and watch the tank .

Yes it's outdoor furniture, however it is incredibly hard to find kitchen tables that match charcoal cabinets

Couple more days of cleaning basement / garage / truck. Then it's onto operation water make / mix / quarantine station

Lookin good, looks like I've gotta get my butt in gear and get mine setup now

Love the scape! Got some killer deapth in there. Looking great so far.
