Cool

I have finally arrived


Here it is. Thanks AHBrit! the 300 gallon. it needs some work including new plumbing etc but i have most of the stuff to start with. here are a few pictures.

#1 is just the tank
#2 is a fat guy in front of the tank
#3 i put a standard box fan in front for size reference (no jokes about cross referencing the size of the fat guy allowed).

now in a few months the games will begin. PS, the pic was taken right after moving the tank on a 105 degree day... so the fat guy is not looking his best.

and finally, some celebrating smileys

Wow that is a beast (no I am not talking about the aforementioned fat guy ).

I'm thinking you are going to need some very large corals,...

Keep us posted,
