I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a clean way to support all this egg crate and I finally came up with a solution.

I got some black acrylic rods, cut them to size and added some groves on one end so that I could slip it into the squares. I added 9 rods per section (2ftx2ft) was the perfect amount to support the sheet.

Nice solution to the egg crate.

How does the pictures work out for you? Im looking to buy a hobby cam; probally just a eos t2i cannon with a 20mm macro lens and an extension tube. You must be able to take some really close big pictures with your setup. IM interested to see what comes out of your website picture wise. Keep me posted my tank has plenty of room for new corals

We haven't played with the 100mm lens much yet. All the pictures on our website were taken with a Canon T3i and 60mm EF-S macro lens. It was a great lens to work with because we could nice and close to the subject while taking the pics.

With the 100mm lens, we will need to extend the tripod much higher but that wont be a problem this time around because our tanks are not as tall anymore.

All our coral beds are filled with water and one of them is currently holding all our corals. Its going to take some time to get the systems stable to produce good coloration but it will be worth the wait. You know that they say... "you cant rush perfection".

It's christmas in September here @ Canada Corals!!!

We received a few shipments of dry-goods, Deltec skimmers for our LPS and SPS system and AquaUV equipment for our fish system.

Deltec SC2560


AquaUV Ultima Filter II, 800watt UV Sterilizer, 5hp Tsunami pump (16,500 GPH)


All the aluminum is cut and drilled for the fish wall. We are now at the stage of putting the beams together. We are expecting delivery on all our glass for the fish tanks next week. We are also building the tanks from scratch. Then plumbing begins.
