Here is the tank that I ordered. Just heard from Joe at Glasscages, it is done and in QC now before crating for shipping.

That's awesome!!!!

HOFer! Imo

I’m old, have dementia and went to public schools. Please explain, like your talking to a three year old, what HOFer means.

Good afternoon smorgs, I hope all is well. I just got a coral shipment in! I'll share pics when they start opening up. @Calmwaters your pico tank is firing me up lol. I want one! @kevgib67 you are officially a bad influence now, this shipment has another crazy plate!

@smitten with ocean life I hope that the promise of a new life, and new love for your son and his future wife, will help ease everyone's hearts from the loss that you all had. Take yourself some time, and we'll be happy when you get back.and can tell us all about it.

So HOFer is short for Hall of Famer like OMG is short for on my goat! Man, I can’t keep up with you kids!

Is it an extra tank or a replacement? What is the plan SPS, LPS, softies or mixed reef?

It is an upgrade. I currently had a rock curing 40g breeder... but... that didn't last long and I have added corals and fish... so.. it's a temporary tank until this one is delivered.

Money is right... $3001.25 to be exact with shipping which was almost $400.

Oh.. Remi, I forgot to add that it will be a mixed tank. I have been looking at pictures of natural shallow reefs and I want to attempt to emulate a similar scene in my tank.

Thank you Amanda! I'm looking forward to putting it all together. I'm working on the stand now. Well, not literally "now" seeings as how I'm at work... but... it's in my garage

Kev, I was like "wow" too... but, it has been a dream to have a Glasscages tank AND I had it built to the dimensions I wanted. I am fortunate to be at a point in my life and career where I am able to do this.

 

[00W]

Now that he is or going to be pardoned it’s time he is put in the baseball Hall of Fame where he belongs!

Couldn't agree more Kev!
Sad that he can't be there himself
He should have been in the hall a long time ago.

Agreed, I wish he was alive to experience it.

I’m happy for you Kieth, this is definitely the right time especially if you have a daughter! ;) There’s an old timer on here who was building up an upgrade fund and then his daughter got engaged and it became her wedding fund and what was left is going to the government next month. He hasn’t been on much, last we heard his family took him on a long vacation at Sunnyside Psychiatric Hospital.

Thanks brother. I've been in a similar situation, and it's important that the love doesn't get lost there. While I've got you here, I can't wait to see your build!! Awesome man.

I have a daughter, but she is no where near ready to be engaged nor married. She's 23 and still "figuring it out" according to her.

I'll definitely keep the Smorg posted, not sure if I'll have a true "build thread" though. That's a lot of commitment! LOL

You just referred to my 41 year old self as a kid! No need to apologize, you just became my best friend ever, Kevin! Now if I only still looked like one..

We're all the build thread you need Keith. I'm the same way. I'll have a coral fir a month and realize I never told yall about it haha. I'm interested to see how you light it and create flow. If I ever add another tank, a shallow, highlight sps tank intrigues me. Randy Holmes Fairley had a cool article on this not too long ago
