Thanks for the bump bro. So.. you still cycling that tank, checking for leaks, saving money for lights...? Where are the pics of this thing with some Life?

I really like your stand. It is simple and looks custom, great finish.

I'll try to get some posted here in a bit. Its nothing fancy but I'm happy with it.

looks good very clean.

Tank looks great bro. You've got some huge corals in there. Just the size of the corals makes the tank look well established. I have a sailfin tang as well, not as blue as yours. Guessing you've had problem with him being aggressive toward your yellow tang?

WOW Jason, that's VERY NICE!!!! I'm curious about something, how wide is the stand, trying to see if it would fit through my back door. Been thinking about a 180 myself but I think sizes measurements.

Ok forgive my newbie-ness but what kind of rock is that that looks like branches that sticks up out of the sand like that, I love the way you placed it in this tank.

The rock your asking about is Tonga Branch. I also have marshall islands rock in there as well. Thanks for the kin words.

Norman thanks. I set the rock like that so the fish could swim around & under the rocks instead of just having a big pile of rocks either all along the back of the tank or just sitting in the middle.

Wayne did that as well, you guys give me the inspiration for my new tank aquascaping. Let me know the measurements so I can see if it fits through my back door or not. I'm praying that it does cause I really want a big tank.....IF it doesn't, I may have to knock out the back door...

Mike you shouldn't have a problem getting it through your backdoor. Its 25 1/4 in wide. Hope that will work for you.

bedamned, you check out the number of views on this short 3 page thread... over one thousand.... wow

looks as if you may have the record... one which i aim to beat... the record, excluding the denitrator forum started in '68 just three days after the middle tennessee get together became a club. Which leads me to ponder, if one of us becomes president could we take this to fraternity status?
Just think about that... when MACNA comes around we would be the ones everyone else wants to know. I would lobby for leather jackets! You can't be a statement without making a statement.
Speaking of statements. "We glue animals to rocks... and we rock"
