Thanks Barb! As for the fish in QT, it was a really tough ordeal as we lost 4 out of 5 fish. I don't handle that well at all. They were from LA DD and came in with swim bladder issues and ich. LA DD took care of us with a refund, It just stings that I put a ton of effort and work into treating and caring for them and still couldn't save them. The 5th fish is a little miracle and although not out of the woods, may just make it.

That is a sweet looking tank for sure!

Thanks Chris!

We LOVE new toys, LOL!


Update:

We are still waiting on the stand (it's being stained now) and can't wait for it to get here.

The new ceramic rock structures arrived today, so we decided to snap a couple of pics before we rinse and put them in our sump.

Once the stand gets here, the next step will be to get the granite installed. We're definitely feeling behind on this project, but hopefully once the stand is finished, everything will fall into place.

I love your ceramic rock. I just bought the same tank, and am in "hurry up and wait" mode while my husband finishes the stand. Where did you get your rock?

Love the look of the ceramic rock Sorry about the fish that you lost, hopefully the fifth one will continue to pull on through.

I think the rockwork looks good. You should have plenty of places to mount corals.

Wow Terry the rock and tank are a perfect fit!

Thanks guys! We can't say enough good stuff about VidaRock. There is an unbelievable selection of styles, sizes and shapes to choose from to make your own unique 'scape and you really can't beat the price.

The stand is almost finished - just a light sanding and another coat of paint left to do. Thought we'd share a couple of pics that the guys sent us tonight:


The caption that came with the pics was "This is all you get to see for now", LOL!

We're loving the tile work. The guys matched it to the existing tile in our kitchen.

Terry has an appointment w/the granite installer on Monday to pick out the countertop. Things are finally starting to come together.
