[afamousjohnson]

Might as well drop some strawberry shortcake since its finished up and than well give the homewrecker its spotlight back - gotta share sometimes - big name pieces lol and let the old school originals show why they have always been favorites!

Ok here we go - now it's coloring in. Getting it's full blues. Think that might be it on this one - watcha think - and in it's daylight pics lol (have to actually grab some of those in sun or white)
But 1st maybe next we should see it in the UV blues..

And here's the shine. That should take next to or in front of the word fire lol bring on the shine lol hope y'all like this one - i definitely did.

Still a bit messy but have to start giving things their Holmes in the dry reef as I make more pieces. Some little rock scape shots and some overs of what I'm working with on/off the table top.

Will be painting more thru the week so stay tuned. Hope the read was enjoyable this far and the pics were exciting.
Have a good week all and happy reefing.

I must say that I love this! Have you thought about adding them to a glass tank with some sand and then painting the background to look like a deep view into the ocean?

Thanks man. Ya the copper is a little attention hog. It's funny he tries to swim into my hand every time I go in the tank. Very model citizen tho in the tank. Wiped out hundreds of aptasia over the past months. Love the little bugger and he's and eater too which is great. Awesome fish.

Big thanks Rev - glad you like it. I was trying to think "out side of the box" haha on this one.
I did think about creating a fake aquarium. Being that I have 3 tanks already in the background all off the same system and 40b sump - my wife told me no more tanks......
So I did one without one lol the size being 3x3x2 and glass top of the table was appealing also and catchy to the project.

 

[afamousjohnson]

There is a drawer under the glass top I might do something with to give it even more dimension but we will see

 

[afamousjohnson]

@WWC
What do you guys think?? Did I do you justice on this one.lol Inspiration for this one definitely came from you guys over there - good stuff!
Glad to finally have it in one of my tanks.....even if it is dry

Was wanting a staghorn so had to do a slimmer - went old school with a green with blue tip classic slimer. Not quite finished with it yet. Think I'm gonna add a color to some of the coralites for fun cause why not.
Even gave it a shot of where I'd prolly put it in the display tank if it was a salty coral lol

If you look close in the background of the last pic you'll see the cute lil dog fish I added in
