Nice start mate. Those bars on the windows are something else .. do you have problems with thiefs?

 

[Manhattan Aquariums]

Haha naw, nothing like that. When we bought the building, they were already there. It doesn't hurt to have them though.

Man, you guys are BUSY over there! I can hardly manage the projects I have for one tank and you're just cranking through things every day.

We took down the hanging tank to open the space. It will be reinstalled above the register counter as soon as the shorter support cable comes in this week from Canada.

We've been waiting for 3 or 4 weeks now - Suppose to be in early this week, but we'll see.

We've been itching to play with it for days! Joe really went super-saiyan yesterday and got everything up and running within few hours.

Made some changes to the aquascape and added more pieces, pics coming soon...

I was at the shop today and this is the sickest 120 I have ever seen!!! The coral selection in there was unbelievable - stacked with corals that would blow your mind.. Those colors were really poppin' under that Tek Light and that aquascape is inspiration for my new tank.
Great Job, but I didn't expect anything less from you guy's..
