Very fitting.

The sad thing is that my camera is no more then 2 feet from the tank, and less then 8 feet from my laptop. :redface: I'd say maybe tonight, but I can realistically say that I'm probably not going to get around to it.

Although I do need a January FTS...

Just for you I busted out my phone after practice last night to snap some shots, and put my camera's battery on to charge. Also because my good camera would have caught too good of a reflection of my post-practice self.

Hack January 2011 FTS. Note all the bulkheads!

Start of the plumbing. Just waiting now for my BRS order to arrive with the rest of what I need.

I'm on the fence if I'm going to make the first one with a PVC structure, or acrylic. Although honestly I was able to stack the rock near perfectly on the floor without either, however we all know how reefing works and I'll never be able to re-assemble it in the tank in all its glory.

I simply stacked both recent tanks, and wish that I had used aquamend/aquastick..

zip ties from the dollar store. You get 25-50 for a buck so you can zip tie it all once you get it into a format you like. Works well as long as you dont make a 60lb structure cause you dont want to have that thing fall as you try to lift it out so you can epoxy it all together. Though zip ties neatly trimmed and properly applied can be hidden with dabs of that aqua putty. Seems like you might have enough room to do that in that tank - given that your tank is bigger than the homes of most living in third world countries :mrgreen: (yes i am entitled to bash cause my parents are from India)

I like cheeeeeeese*said with a big cheese eating grin on my face*........thanks Catherine, when I asked you to show me yours, I didnt epect to get such a detailed picture of your holes:wink:

I've always splurged and used the ties from home depot because they come in massive lengths and say they are UV resistant. They feel stronger and with this protection I imagine don't become brittle being in the tank quite as fast.
