Added bath trim to the tank.

Then 4 months later finally got around to buying a new sump, and ordering my lights and set up.

That looks great man! Are you going to be leaving that skull in there or is it just to catch crabs?

Kryptic4L 02-08-2010 03:42 PM

im going to try and get it incrusted with a monti. might take awhile. Been thinking about pushing it back out of the fore ground for the time being as it does look a bit out of place :)

Looks great! What are the dimensions?
That vodka's not bad either, hey :lol:

Cool, same dimensions as mine. Yours looks much better than mine though. As soon as my other tank is ready I'm transferring everyone over and re-doing mine.

ok ok ill get on the rest. This was really a tank brought back from the dead.

bought it with a metal stand a sump and the skimmer off a member. i was not happy with the sump and the metal stand. So I made my own and ordered the sump after alot of design stress.

The white bg is pretty different but it's a nice change to see it. Is that Sean's (kwirky) old tank?
