Tank build round 3? 20H with 10g Sump

Looks good so far. This may be a bit off topic but is the outside of your stand real stone? That must be a bit heavy

Thanks

Nope, its Urethane, pretty light and tuff, actually the stand fell down a dirt hill when i was moving it from Kelowna and stood up pretty well.

I thought it looked a bit styrofoamy, lol. Looks great anyway.

I found some Vanatu live rock at Big Al's in Burnaby of all places. Nice stuff fully cured, i'm not expecting much of a cycle. Here's the initial Aquascape, i may change my mind but i like it so far.

Is the stand vented at all for humidity??? Just a thought as we all know how wet the environment inside the stand is! The tank and stand are gorgeous though...very nice work....so you wanna come build me a stand and cap for my 10g tank for the build off??? (please????)

There are 4-3" Holes in the back of the stand for powercords and venting. But no fans, im finding that the tank warms up when the halides go out and the 2 4" fans go off (on the same timer) but not too bad between 78 and 79 at most. I also have the front of the stand off alot as im always playing with the skimmer and testing the water right now.
I'll snap some pics later today i hope.

I snapped this before the lights came on this morning. Its Been a while since i updated it.

Has anyone else experienced this? I have a pair of clowns and a carpet anemone, I also have a tiny foxface that thinks hes a clown too. The clowns don't seem to mind, but he gets within millimeters of touching the carpet. (BTW this isn't the 20g no flaming)
