Just a small update. We started getting the stand done. The door/stand cover is drying in the garage ATM.

In this pic you can kind of see our newest addition, a beautiful sailfin tang we got from another canreefer (Thank-you, he's fitting is very well)



Here's a blurry closeup pic:

Oh he's great! Couldn't be happier with him. He's my favorite fish. Ever since I was a little girl and I got a little national geographic copperband butterfly figurine from Dairy Queen, I've always wanted one. I just wish they would get along because then I would have about 10 of them

He eats mysis, bloodworms, mussels sometimes and plankton. I can't get him to eat pellets or flakes unfortunately but as long as he eats I am happy. Thanks for asking!

Default Just a little update:
Woke up at 6:30 AM on my only sleep in day this week. Great. So I took a few photos of what's been going on around here:

Painted the cabinetry for the stand and didn't like the color:


So I decided to paint it again with a bit more character:



Got a new RO/DI unit from BRS:



And here's a pic of the three amigos for fun. They just woke up in this pic. I guess I'm the rooster today :

I'm gonna say it again, wow! That's beautiful, love the final look of the stand! You must be so happy with how it all turned out! I've been thinking of doing my stand lighter as well, haven't decided yet! I've also just got an ro unit, added a tds meter and water coming out is 0, going in is at 114.

Now to start loading it up with fish and corals! Your 3 amigos need some buddies!
