Makes sense to do the dream the right way :biggrin: But what's this business about having to wait until Sunday for more pic.'s! :razz:

Fish are in and they look much happier, I am hoping to get the rest done in the next few days.

I don't know about fun, I was up till 1:00 making sure everything was good, Happy I double checked everything as the power bar for the heaters was plugged in but not turned on! One small leak on one overflow, but an easy fix. you will have to stop by and check it out, even I am impressed and that is hard to do:lol:

Have to work :neutral: this obsession comes at a cost, I think I need a couple more jobs what with all the space in the new fishroom, can't very well be filling that with non fish related stuff now can I.

Hummmm... going to work to pay for everything, or showing us pic.'s......I don't know....:razz: :lol:

It's almost Sunday :smile: (pics, pics, pics)

LOL How about a couple of teaser livestock shots, I don't have lights hooked up yet so there not the best.

No Idea what this is, but very colorfull and active

Very large French Angel, looks like he runs the tank.

Queen Angel

And my personal fav. Blue Face Angel

Oh, lets not forget the 6 foot tall glowing skimmer, little early to tell but it looks like the lights more than double the performance:silly:

I think that colorful active fish is some type of soldierfish or squirrelfish.

I was gonna say hamlet of some sort??? Very nice looking assortment of other fish there too I must add.:biggrin:

My 2 clowns can have their house packed up and ready to go as soon as you give the word :mrgreen:

The lit skimmer is a neat idea but I wonder if you'll find you'll be scraping coraline out of it more frequently because of that..

Nice fish!!!!

Oh sure somebody always has to come up with a downside :razz:

that is the neatest looking skimmer in western canada. Way to make something that takes out the garbage for you look cool! and those fish are amazing! There is no way in hell you could have corals in those tanks with those angels in there thats for sure!

As soon as everything is settled in and I get everything finished (don't even have lights on it yet) will let you know, probably next week :biggrin:

Thanks, not worried about coraline, I couldn't get that stuff to grow if my life depended on it:lol:

Thanks, trying to make this as clean and quiet a setup as possible, still lots of little things to do and then I will post pics of the details. No plans for corals right now but Marie has a giant anemone she wants rid of so we will see how that fares.

a retirri anenome?

get some UV LEDs for the lighting :) i wonder if that will effect the skimming at all or water clarity

Dude where is the flucks capacitor for it, what type of moon fuel does that take...

I like it thou.

He looks like similar to a pork fish. But different colouration.

High fin snapper

Beautiful tank. But need a FTS.:wink:

+1 but you might have to cut a hole into the wall so you can stand in the yard to get the picture of the whole thing!:razz:

Terrible pic but here is the first FTS, trim matches the reef on the opposing wall, only diff is this one will have a small door along the top to have access to clean the acrylic. Need to figure out lighting plans and still need to complete the wiring so I can loose the extension cords.

Damn that is one fine looking tank. Nice job!! :cool:

Ok so now we need individual photos of each fish :razz:

man that angel is huge man in that tank holy crap. what are you going to do withthe top piece there. what type of door.

How on earth did you manage to drag yourself off to work knowing that is waiting for you at home? :lol:

Yes that French is HUGE, the door will be flush mount and get painted the wall color so it blends in, will try and get that done today.

Just have to look at the pile of reciepts from putting this together, been an expensive summer between this and the new shop, looks like early retirement will now be 2030!!

Dave, it looks AWESOME! I can't wait to get home and see it in person.

Nice job!
I know it's already been said but......Holly Crap thats a big fish!!!

If you have a panoramic setting on your camera you could take a awesome FTS

Damn your tank is nice mrfish55.:faint:

Very nice job...glad to finally see an FTS.

I'd find a way to work from home! How much rock is that?! Really digthe layout.

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgr een::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Thanks, I will try to get some better pics in the next few days, think I might take a day off, this has been long days non stop for two weeks now.

Rock is roughly 700lbs, the rock in the display tank consists of about 10-12 very large pieces (one nearly 100lbs itself) and the sump has a few chambers full of smaller pieces.

Wow, that's crazy, it looks fabulous though.

Couple random fish shots

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! I drove by today for a look-see but your car wasn't home.

*sigh* those fish are just awesome!!!! :cool:

yeah that MAC angel looks great, awesome job.

I hope this tank turns out to look like the guys from the new life specturm tank, full of colorful fish. !!!! :mrgreen:

Sorry, had to work, should be home most of tomorrow, stop and have a :drinking:

Thanks, they look better in person and tons of personality, I am pretty happy with how it is comming together.

Not familiar with the new life tank, I am going to let things settle in for a bit and then I have a few fav's that will be added.
