Hello from Northern Manitoba

[LoJack]

Hello Canreef,

Thought I'd introduce myself and show a little bit about what I do up here in the north. I have been a member of Canreef for a while, but haven't really posted here much as I devote most of my time to our local forum. However, with the reading I've done here I thought I'd dip my toe in the water.

I'll start with a few photos of my tank. I work in a Nickel Mine up in Thompson, Manitoba and have no LFS. Everything in my tank has travelled a minimum of 750 km to get here.

I'm an avid DIY'er and have built everything myself out in my shop.

So here goes.

The tank is a 144 Gallon Starphire Reef. I built the stand, overflow and plumbing myself. I built the LED's custom from RapidLED.com.

It all started with a basic shell of a stand:



Which I had to dress up a bit of course:









Tried to figure out an aquascape



And some drilling and plumbing of course









Wired Up some LED's





Built a Canopy and Some doors in the shop



And added a bit of Life!



I hope you like it. I have a ton more photos and intend to put a build thread together ... but thought I'd show a quick preview and introduce myself. I look forward to spending some time with the CanReef community.
