Sick build? How was your experience with Advanced Acrylics? I am looking into buying a larger acrylic tank and they seem to do a good job.

How long was it from order to delivery?
John (owner) was amazing with me. All my items came out spectacular. Was 2 1/2 weeks from order to delivery. Great turnaround time as I had a 180g tank plus 70g sump plus 20g ato reservoir all built. I highly recommend him

Well Mr. Marvin came over this morning and helped me cut some holes in my sheetrock and we routed the 2 hoses for the chiller and got it going!


I watched my temp off of Apex Fusion all day. It would swing between 77.8 and 78.3 about all day. My halides just went off for the first time when they were supposed to! Not when the tank got to hot (which has been everday). So the chiller is working well!


The temp controller on the chiller only goes by degree and not by .degrees so I can't adjust it anymore, so I think I'm going to have that swing in temp all the time, .5 degrees is alot better than 5 degree swing I was having.

Tried getting some pics of the fish tonight. They are stubborn. They are 24 hours into their API General Cure treatment. Doing well. Ate great tonight. Still have peace so far between the tangs!

Okay just got a Sexy Corals box in. Had bought it actually on Veteran's Day back last year, I had changed tanks so I told him to just hold it for me until i was ready. I'm ready now. This is the first time I've bought a box (which you don't know whats inside). The box cost me $225 with Veteran's discount, was a $300 box. This is whats inside it. And what its worth.


I was shocked.

After a VERY long day of driving and meeting a nice guy. I got home and acclimated this Anemone. He is HUGE. Beautiful though. Lets hope he transitions well.
