Well I finally got the 34g up

[dsaundry]

Well as the reno's are still ongoing at my house and the 140g project still in it's infancy I finally took a few days and put the 34g tank together, It's the replacement for the old 27g bowfront that was in my office. It only took a couple of days to come up with my :Inukshuk" rock formation, thanks to Vfx for the acrylic rods and Oceanic Corals for the epoxy and suggestions. Then it was relatively simple, borrow wife's SUV and load it all to the shop, assemble and fill with water leaving enough room to transfer some of their old tank water in, and few pieces of liver rock. I have mounted a diy fuge on the back which seems to work quite well and I will be adjusting the number of hydors once I figure out how much flow I think will be best. The lighting is a Marineland led set up with a 18" pc fixture and really lights the tank up nicely. There is also a small fixture over the fuge. The transfer of the livestock went pretty much ok with one minor hitch, somehow my little goby who was paired up with the pistol shrimp dissapeared, I found him a few days later when I was rinsing out some of the sand from the old 27g. I was ticked, I thought I saw him go in with the shrimp. I will also say that the 27g was over 2 years old and if it wasn't for the fact that the tank was looking a little beat up and would probably need resealing soon I probably wouldn't have bothered with this new set up. However other than the one casualty all went pretty smooth and I had it all laid out and livestock transfered within about 2-3 days. By using a fairly large amount of their original tank water I have found that this type of tranfer usually goes pretty smooth.This tank will be a very simple tank as I am only going to go with softies, hence the plea for some Gsp, Blue Clove polyps. I have some Zoa's I will be transplanting as well as a Kenya coral as well. As the tank progress's so will updated photos, here is the link to my photobucket site, any suggestions welcomed {so long as it isn't going to cost me too much money}
