It was for initial testing. The above pic was taken in my house. The tools in the reflection are on my dining room table.

Pretty amazing tank (and thread) - best thing about this thread is the ability to read through and see your progression without dozens of spurious posts in between all the great pictures.

That pic of your tangs on page 11 is killer. Looking forward to seeing that blond Naso grow up in there - I used to have one that would dash the length of a 6-ft tank in about, oh, 1/10 of a second... Maybe streamers will slow him down a little?

Thanks for the effort on this - very thorough, informative, entertaining.

One question - does Bow Valley use PPG Starphire(tm) brand glass, or another manufacturer's low-lead equivalent?

It will come, but will be an old full-tank shot. It will be at least a month or so for a current tank shot.

Can't spoil it for you!
