Excellent. Glad to hear the hinges you picked work
Lookin' forward to some pics

Figured you were out of town. Hope you had a wonderful time

They were hinges I bought probably 2 years ago, so I figured I may as well use them. I just couldn't use my original plan with those style hinges. Oh well, I'm still happy with the stand, and really like that it is the same color as the walls behind it. It looks very nice like that.

And thanks, our trip to Kauai was awesome.

Update ??????

[Myka]

Yeah, I guess I didn't update this! My Canon G9 died while I was in Hawaii in April, and I didn't take many pics after that since my waterproof camera doesn't take the same quality of photos. I bought another G9 a week ago though, so I should get more pics soon here.

I still need to add a bunch more live rock. I bought a few nice pieces just for the tank a couple months ago, but haven't got around to putting them in the tank. I got a blue Mini Carpet anemone for the tank too. Cool little critters.

Here's May 2nd:



May 3rd (added a bunch):




Here's the sump (installed early May):



Here it is May 19:



This Aussie Lobo got nailed by its neighbor, and is recovering well:



This is the neighbor:



Here's RBTA. It hosts a young pair of Galaxy Clarkii, but they ditched when they saw the camera.

Awmygawd, sooooooo nice !

Yeah, thanks that one's a beauty! I like the damaged Aussie on better though. I have 8 open brains and 6 closed brain corals in there. One of my fav corals.

I added a bunch of rock yesterday and redesigned. I still need to get the last of the corals off the sand, replace the powerheads (they do no good in the boxes), and give that green Sinularia a major pruning, but it's a start...
