Myka's 100-gallon SPS Reef

[Myka]

Yeah the tank should be transferred around July 2014. In all reality, I'm hoping by the end of October. After I come back from MACNA I'm headed to BC for a week to visit family.

I knew someone would comment about the Nova!

Yeah good call! I'm not sure I'm keen on the cha-ching factor of the Spectra though. However, if a good deal came up on a used fixture this "sale" shopper just might pounce! Your tank will be a nice shape too! I just didn't want the tank to stick out 24" (plus back gap). We have a pretty small house so we didn't want it to stick out much more than it already is.

Haha, thanks Darryl! I am pretty handy, but I am easily distracted!

Yes Mark, I do believe you are right!

I'm on a roll!!! Got the second coat inside the stand done (white semi-gloss outdoor), and got the first coat of paint on. I just used the paint pot tester I bought when I was picking the colors for the house walls. It's just a flat indoor paint. After 3 coats of this flat paint with light sanding between I will put 2 coats of satin finish polyurethane.

Looks like I will need to do some touch-up filling before I put the next coat of paint on.

Filled, spot primed, and 2nd coat! Roxy photo bombed!
