Damsel(s)??? I do have one damsel in there a non-terror. I formerly had three of them two of them were nutcases which ultimately met their TIMELY demise but, this one is very relaxed and a very nice fish that does not have any territorial issues (very odd for a blue damsel I know).
But, I do have some updated pictures to show seeing the tank is now 100% clear and everything has had the opportunity to settle in.

I'll try to keep the updates coming along. Hopefully we'll be able to get the wall painted and I'll be able to get some trim around the tank to hide the edges.

Yes, there will be a wooden access door to hide the fixture not to mention it will better direct the light down towards the tank. Not to mention it will take away A LOT of the glare from viewers seeing the tank is quite high up (similar height to that of your bar tank if I had to guess).

What're you doing with these tanks here - |
Those tanks are going back to Olde Matt as these were the tanks that he graciously loaned to me in this definate time of need. The rocks that are left in that right side tank are the rocks that I need to find a home for lol... Where am I going to put those monsters???

Everything is looking awesone Jason. Definitely like the more shallow sand bed and the minimalistic aqua scape.

Looks great Jason! You beat me to the in wall build. I am trying to get the $$$ together to do a 180 or a 220 in wall with a bar in front (thanks Cary thanks a lot ) and make my own man cave since I will be evicted soon from my office to give Victor his own room. I may have to pick your brain. Love your new cabinets! |

Hey Jason don't forget whenever you need frags just let me know, my whole stock is open to you as long as I have something to frag. You're Mille has only like quatrupled in size since I got it from you so there's plenty of that one to go around too.

Your new tank is coming along nicely Jason. Do you have any pics you could post of your sump or fish room yet?

Everything looks fantastic Jason! Congrats. I really love your aquascaping. Makes me want to don some flippers and go diving!
If you are serious about selling rock, I'm interested. I'm hoping to make a tower. Got anything that might work? I'll drill it, if need be, so I can get creative with placement.

I'm guessing he is busy making water for the 12 foot tank he's putting in the basement I believe the plans had been drawn up, and he had put in some feelers for pricing. I only wonder how he's getting a 12 foot tank down the stairs and around that corner??!

Oh believe me he had plenty of room. No corners to go around but still heavy.
