That looks like a beauty!

"Blue-streak cardinals"/threadfin cardinals are really cool! I bet your school looks awesome!

Also, I love dispar anthias.. cool to hear you have a group and that they hang out with the cardinals!

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,

Chris

I'm still awaiting a few new guys that should be arriving soon:
Australian harlequin tusk
White-freckled tang
Bariene tang
Monrovian tang

Was hoping to have these guys in first and build from there but the logistics and timing just hasn't worked. I couldn't wait any longer and had to get some movement in there so now they will be the last to go in. I believe they are all gonna be L-XL so i don't think there will be a lot of quarrelling from the other tangs.

And hopefully a Blonde naso tang & Female Bellus angel. She is definitely one of my favs. There's no sign of the Mystery wrasse in the pics but I'll guarantee he is my favorite in the tank right now. He's the first I've ever seen in person (he's not a person) and not from a google photo so that may have something to do with it.

Anyway, I'll try and get a pic or a nice video of the tank. I'm downloading some editing software now because the camera shoots in HD and the files are massive and in .MTS format.

Noooo, not NL. I've been trying to get an acrylic 10' now for years, tried every vendor from here to BC. All prices was in excess of $10-15k plus between $2500-$3500 for shipping. Even the lfs cost was $10k plus $3k freight and that was glass. You'd need 20+ people to help ya move it, don't know if I even know that many people!!! Lol.

I had it built and shipped from The Aquarium Company for less than half any offer in Canada and the freight from Winthrop, Mn was only $1k. Locked in at a good price because they told me the price of the tank from the time I ordered to the time it shipped had gone up $1600. Locked in low with a strong Cdn dollar. Finally, some good luck!

Lol nope, Attach them with the "Attachment Icon" (Paper Clip) Then select the images you want in your post, After they are done uploading look at the bottom of the upload screen for the percentage. Go back to the Paper Clip and your picture will be there. Click the Link and they will be added to your post.

Good luck.

Whoa ten feet must be fun for those fish! From what little you've posted the build looks great... I didn't even know about the blog functionality here I never saw this stuff posted. Can you post a larger FTS (full tank shot) your scape looks nice.

You used the correct tags but are referencing a file on your hard drive. You need to use the absolute path to the file after you upload it somewhere.
