Yesterday Jack and his sone Wheeler came over to move the sand and rock from the 3 other tanks and put it into the new 180 plus add 180lbs more sand and about 250lbs of rock

First Jack puts power strips in and hangs power boxes for lights on inside of stand and puts skimmer in sump (this may be Jack's best side what do you thing?)

That is Jack working and Wheeler watching he said that way he could learn how to do it right

Wheeler taking sand out of 55 after removing rocks and fish which are in the trashcan

Way cool project, have fun getting wet!

 

[Fish Crazy]

Jack adding sand

...and more sand

This picture is just for Vicki :jester: Jack adding rocks

This is the tank just after all the rocks and sand added

Last bit of water going in - notice Wheeler's shirt all wet, he had a challenging time with the hose - he, he, he (He also had a hard time with the door when taking stuff out to the truck)

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Let the games begin!

 

[Fish Crazy]

24 hrs after rock and sand added

Here is what the tank looks like today - we have not cleaned the glass so please excuse

I have to be out of town next week, but there my be some aquascaping going on before I leave

 

[Fish Crazy]

Let the games begin!

I can hardly wait to see fish and corals in there

(this may be Jack's best side what do you thing?) Oh yes Way cute. Wow girls! Looking really good. Wheeler still has the scratches on his arm he is quite proud of. Oh to have a 180...It is clearing up rather nicely I would like to come see it in person soon.

I couldn't believe that Wheeler scratched his arm trying to figure out if he could jump the fence, in case I locked him out - crazy kid. You should have seen the look on his face when he spilled salt water down his arm.

Even with only rock and sand I've enjoyed watching it clear up today

We can definatley set up a time for you to come over and see the tank and give us some ideas on corals

 

[Fish Crazy]

Wow! I can't wait to see the final 'scape.

Thanks the rocks are very interesting and not sure yet how to place them, we want some open spaces for the fish to swim around so hopefully some cave and some flat "bridges"

I already sit and stare at the tank

The color does not come out very well in pictures but it is from Freeze paint and it is called Extravigants - it's a southwest type of color
