thanks everyone now to figure out the bottom situation and fill [img]smile.gif[/img]

cali, i think i will take the stand and canopy off your hands, but could you send me pics, or could i come by and take a look to make sure i will have the room for it in my house [img]smile.gif[/img]

Okay,

Getting a picture of the canopy and stand will be a little difficult this week, the canopy is in my garage but the stand is in Flushing.

A standard 180 is 72Lx24Wx24H, the stand and canopy fits over it. You will nee a van or a large SUV to haul these away.

ok so the canopy is fine for a pic, i would just like to see how hard it will be to chop it [img]smile.gif[/img] i mean if you were going to toss it, someone might as well make some use out of it. my sister in law has a caravan so if we take out the seats it should fit [img]smile.gif[/img]

some better pics of the background now. i had my son take this pic while i held my halide over it



and a closeup with the halide

i just finished filling my tank with water. i have not been able to get ahold of my dad for the starboard, but i need a place to put my lionfish for a while. i got a sixline today to try and combat a small flatworm infestation. so far he is being a little piggy and i cannot cathc my lionfish. the sixline is pretty large so hopefully it will be ok till i can get the lion out [img]smile.gif[/img]

well, it's a no on the halides. i bought the t5 fixture from fastuno, thanks again [img]smile.gif[/img] and will be running it on my 29. still need a hood though [img]smile.gif[/img] only because the fixture is 24 inches and my tank is 30 and i am afraid to hang anything from my walls or ceiling, 100 year old plaster may not hold up too well so i am going to fashion something out of 2x4 for now until i get this thing supported. love the light though [img]smile.gif[/img]

sweet, that paint job rocks.

I wonder what the fish will think?

[jenniebutterfly]

lol well with the water in, it is not a sparkly, but you can still see it, and it is subtle. thats what i think i like the most. i rather like it [img]smile.gif[/img] and it was super easy, done and dry in less than an hour [img]smile.gif[/img]

[jenniebutterfly]

wow so i typed up a huge thing, and well, too many images, so here goes again, split into two posts.

here are some updated shots. i still don't have the starboard, but i talked to my dad and he said he has the perfect scrap piece for me and he is going to router the edges and send it on it's way to me. gotta love the scraps [img]smile.gif[/img] i forgot to ask what color it was, but i am assuming it will be white, but thats ok. so onto the pics.

first pic, tank after adding 20lbs. live rock. i will be adding more from my 36 after the starboard arrives


first fish in the tank, my new anthelia
