A real nice feature is that you can shut off any given item with just a flick of a switch.

So i put my tank and stand up for sale expecting it to take a bit for it to sell. Well the next day after listing it I sold it to a person I do work for. 2 hours later I got an email responding to the add. I told him that I sold it already sorry. Well to my surprise he offered me 75.00 more than what I was asking for it - lucky me!

A good thing/bad thing though he was coming into town the next day and wanted to pick it up. Problem for me is I had no place for my current live stock. So out I went trying to find a temp. tank till I ordered and got mine. I managed to pick up a 55 gallon tank with overflow which I needed. That night I worked till 4:00am getting my live stock out of the tank and into a new home.

I was selling only the tank and stand and was planning on keeping my light. When he showed up he made me an offer to sell everthing which I couldnt refuse.

Next problem - now I have no light, out shopping again.

I managed to get a Giesemann Infinity - LUCKY ME!

Well this past week has been soooooo busy getting this all looked after but It all turned out for the better.

I have ordered my tank and it should be here in the next week or so. 120 gallon 3 side starfire. This thing is going to look great.

Couple of shots of how I got things running for the time being.





I just love the look of this light, and the light colors is amazing!

Thanks you, I got the aquascaping pretty much done tonight yea for me! Also added sand, which is a swtch for me as I have always had a glass bottom tank.

the power switch was purchased at Mothers Music in calgary - I love it!

one main structure wasn't enough - i did say that what I had in my mind and what I saw didn't match!

I will be posting a pic or two tomorrow, it will take a bit for the tank to clear after the sand storm
