1seems like a good pattern to hide the CLS with the aqua scape

 

[chadderboxx]

I agree. Need to get some more sylcone ran out putting the last bulkhead on today. Planning on drilling and filling with water and finish cleaning this beast this weekend then up on the stand for a dry fit of plumbing then it's just a wait till I have enough for 3 radions pro and a bubble magus skimmer, and another return pump.
Can't finish the canopy till I have my lights and need to build my sump so maybe Monday ill pick up the acrylic and start my sump.

I agree about the tax return... im in same boat. And $1/lb is a good price for Fuji.

Today is a great morning return came back!!! Just need to pay a few bills and then I can be broke again lol. Oh mike.... Lol and yes 1$ # is a great price and it local so no shipping that's why it's cheap. Shipping is usually factored into the price but says free shipping.

Mike allways will make time to answer any questions I have and allways has what I need. I'm getting all my equipment through him and suggest you give him a pm and tell him I sent you.
