Special Thanks
I'd like to thank Dez and Muck for all the help they've given me in the building and plumbing of this tank and Kuatto for such a great deal on the glass for this tank.

Looking good there Harvey!

I think you need to post a pic package in the picture forum now... :mrgreen:

I agree with muck. Picture flood!

Looking good, when's the new tank party? :drinking::bday: :mrgreen:

Looking good! Big improvement from the empty tank I saw a couple weeks ago!

Looks alot better than it did sitting in my garage :mrgreen: Still can't believe you cut in down to half the total gallons :razz:

Hey....I can tell there is a tiny spot in the back that looks a little crooked... It looks like the glass was cut crooked or something...''cough cough"

:x-mas:

looks good Harvey, you did a good job of covering those holes in the bottom..

des

Did you guys also notice that the pendant is actually centered on the tank? Eh? Eh? Eh?

It's actually a bit to the right... :mrgreen:

:2gunfire:

Looks great = thanks again for the deal when i came up from red deer on a visit. Must say though if i knew you had other things for sale at that time i would have spent more lol. Awesome job guys

Rich

Nice tank Harvey. Looks vaguely familiar. :biggrin:
Anymore pics?

Hey do guys mind if i pick you brains on the setup of that thing?

I just bought a 16" cube and want to do the same kind of thing, with everything hidden like that

Hi Mark,

PM me with any/all the questions you have. I'll be glad to help. Or, you can make a new thread in the DIY section and everyone there will chime in :cool:

I'm curious, how much natural daylight does the tank get? Have you noticed any algae because of it?

Those blinds are always closed, so it gets very little natural sunlight. I do open them occasionally and will probably open them more during the summer months, so I'll keep you posted.

Before I had MH or even PCs over my tank I was able to keep a few SPS under NO lighting because it got several hours of sunlight each day. I found it pretty neat!
