Wow this seems to be coming together quickly! The lights look awesome and sound like a great fixture. Nicely done!

Wow, I really love how this is coming along! Your attention to detail is admirable...I know from doing my build that thinking of all these things really takes some time. Those Mitras look pretty rocking...I got to see it at MACNA and it was very nice.

does having that door right beside the tank cause any issues with direct light on the tank and an algae problem?

sphelps 11-13-2012 06:37 PM

It's a window and it doesn't receive direct sunlight so no issues there. There is a reflection issue during daylight but I'll add window treatments once things are more developed.

OH yes I see it now, a window, OK so when you get things more finished just add some curtains. Great looking set up, and awesome fish room.

Well, in all fairness, man alive you do live way out there! Have you looked at a map? Because, wow, you live way out there. In fact, I was starting to worry I had overshot the mark and might be landing in Saskatoon shortly, but then I saw your turnoff and thought ... Ohhhhh .. he's trying to be closer to where he came from. I understand now. But wow, that really is way out there. I got in all kinds of trouble for being late to pick up my kids because I figured the detour wouldn't cost me much more than an hour but I was wrong because, wow, your place is so far out east (has anyone mentioned that? Because wow, it's way far away from anything. I'd say "anything that matters to me" but that's not true, in actual fact I store my sailboat very close to where you live, I get a smokin' deal on storage because it is so far away from anything.)

Any new pictures of the butterflies? I love C. semilarvatus, very nice choice!
