Must say I like that blenny, possible to get little better shot ? Also the dwarf is a beauty.

Yeah, your tank is looking nice. It's a bit of a FOWLRWTF though (fish only with live rock without the fish .. why, what did you think I meant with that?). Oh and except the rock was dry and so wasn't really live either. But FOWLRWTFAETRWDASWRLE is just getting a little too long of an acronym.

Mike I'll try to get some more shots up of those soon (they probably belong in a different thread though). The blenny is a little tease because he'll sit in one spot just long enough to let you think you can get a picture, but by the time the shutter goes, all you've got is a blur of the backside of his tail.

Actually the angels are darn near impossible to photograph too for that matter, they're never still and man they're fast. I don't know how people get such great photos of fish...

Progress on the build has ... once again .. stalled. This time it's work to blame. I've been working nights to get caught up on some things. Unfortunately it hasn't been enough, I've now been told I HAVE to finish one service call onsite so I'll be off next week to take care of it. Not too happy about things at the moment but .. I guess that's life.

Tony now that my build is done I've pretty much lost interest in my tank. If you don't mind cutting me some keys I can keep the plow moving for you!

Well, I was sort of hoping to update this thread with some of the good progress that has happened (remember it's not really a tank build, it's a whole basement build, and all the good fun that comes with that).

However, ..

I'm just about at my limit with the unpleasant surprises. Tonight I found my concrete floor under the tank is disintegrating away (literally turning into powder).

Something of a showstopper. Is there anyone on the board in Calgary who is a concrete contractor or something of this nature and can please contact me? I need to discuss causes and cures and how I'm going to fix this.

I'd post pictures but I'm seriously ticked off at the moment and just want to walk away from it for a bit.

Sorry to hear about the set-back!

This is the portion of the floor you painted correct? The is really scary. I don't blame you at all for wanting to walk away with something like this cropping up.

Let me know if there is anything Kevin and I can do to help you out.
