Wet armpits aren't so bad once you get used to them. I deal with wet arm pits now, with the new tank I'll have to deal with a wet upper body!

I vote for more depth, If I could go wider I would in a heart beat.

Alright well I finally have amassed enough cardboard to do some trial runs. Sunday, provided I do not get injured in my game on Saturday, I will do a cardboard mock-up of the proposed length and height (13x3) and we'll see how it goes. I'll also mark off what 11ft would be for comparison.

In regards to the 180g its still looking iffy, but its coming back. The cyano is still around, it never really left, even after 3 days of no lights. This cyano can't be beat by depleating the light. It seems the clean up crew did more for combating the cyano then turning off the lights did. Although turning the lights off was definitely worth the attempt.

I was over at Tony's on Tuesday and we saw all my pretty fish and clams. I am so excited to bring everything home again. I need to do some aquascaping sooner rather then later!

I'm sure you've seen this before, a tank that's just shy of 11 feet from RC

Here is the build thread also:

Nice find, I'll take a look at the build thread when I have a minute or three. I like it, now if we did that it'd be in wall, but that is the idea.

Quickie update:

- The seahare has been found, its alive, and still feels like a wet marshmallow. Its going back to RC this weekend.
- GHA is 90% gone thanks to the Urchin. That leaves the score at Urchin 1, Seahare -1 (for hiding)
- I added a masked rabbit fish to the tank, sweet, but shy little guy. I always wanted a pretty rabbit fish!
- I added two tester SPS, green polyp birds nest, and a piece of red cap on Saturday. So far, so good
- Added in a few more clean up crew members, hermits
- We're still waiting to hear about my job. Although they have been pilling me up with a lot of work lately, so here is hoping I'm here long term. I'm itching to start on the big tank.

Things are sounding good... Hope that your job pulls thru for you.

Good to hear the rabbit is doing well. Hopfully he isnt a wascally wabbit.
