I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

How do I know my Mandy is digging her new home?

She is twice as fat as she was in her last home.

Love her In this tank.

Dosing rack complete. Asides from needing paint, I'm satisfied.



And the inspector came by...



My cat is as involved as anyone. Anytime I work on the tank he comes by. And he loves my sump. Funny.

Well I never thought I'd say this to a guy before but here goes: "Nice rack!"

Thanks. I'm structural steel fitter. Nice to apply the skill at home. Love having a welder in the garage. Need one? Lol.

Eli at CaCO3 sells them.

Tough summer for my reef.

But with that said, a new cabinet begins. Need to keep little Sophia out once she begins crawling.

Bought the steel through my boss at work.

Making the cabinet frame/stand reinforcement from HSS 1.5"x1.5" x 3/16".

Two pieces bought at 24' each. That's a start.



Stay tuned.

The basic blue print for the frame.




Cutting begins soon.
