Stand Progress....

And it "structurally" complete. Just needs the ply top and skin. Decorative shelves and such to come later...

Stand building is a family event:

And my friendly neighborhood UPS delivery man became my best friend this week. Not only did he bring the new fish on Wed, as well as curtains for the wife, TV bulb for "the house", but also brought this:

Reeflo Hammerhead Hybrid.... $250... still under warranty...

Great progress Bill!!

Thanks!

Next on the list is to order the C2C overflow box and then add it onto the tank, and then cut my new overflow channel into the back.

Well my wife's Atlantic Blue Tang died in the QT overnight on the 30th. No signs of disease, was eating well and swimming actively the whole time, water is fine. Kinda thinking this was just a specimen that didn't adapt well to captivity.

Can't wait to see some pictures!

As soon as I released him from the bag in the pic above, he instantly hid in the pvc pipes and refuses to make it easy for me to photograph anything except a small sliver of his face and an eyeball... He's a wryly little one...
