You mean this?

This is in your store ? How many gallons is the tub ?

How is the CBB doing? Did you move it from the other tank or is it a recent acquisition? I really need a Yellow Tang in my life....

Had him for a little over a year. He’s great. Keeps the tank free of aiptasia. You can tell when he gets a baby one. It’s cool to watch

Everyone needs a yellow tang. Especially a pre ban Hawaiian.

It was my store. Opened it literallly a couple weeks before the covid scare and it killed it.

The shark pool was 8 foot across and 26” deep ran it at roughly 600 gallons and 300 gallons of filter. 2 bamboo cats and three hilleri rays. And a freaking huge blonde naso about 16” long with streamers.

I got the light rack built today. Gotta wait for the boss to get home since I’m not allowed on a ladder without supervision.

I did something a little special for it.

We had company show up Sunday so I had little time to do anything else.

I am doing some post processing on RAW photos and it's a learning curve for sure.

A thousand pardons.

You'll get 1/2 a pardon and like it.

I really wish I had picked a darker blue for the inset. But it’s growing on me.

It looks good in the pic. I like it. Is it a lighter blue under whites?

yes. It was a divider out of a fijicube sump that I no longer have. For some reason they shipped two with it.

The good thing about the canopy is, if I decide to change it, I can always cut a new one. That one had 8 minutes of cut time in it and took another 15-20 to glue together. Plus I have a bit of white 3mm laying around that was overrun from an order and some sapphire from an order in the cutoff bin.


This is what the sapphire looks like:

I was turning a 125 into a sump for a new store. Which, BTW, is having their first Anniversary next weekend.

BTW, notice the cassette tape in the second pic? It actually works and I have a working tape deck going in the truck. lol

You could also make a pair of granny glasses, using that sapphire, and wear them when toolin' around in the truck with the stereo crankin' tunes from your cassette deck.

Just some general maintenance today. And some more how away pics. I will get better at it!

The dash and ducts are back in the truck. Should have the cluster, bezels and dash pad in by Tuesday. It just got too hot to keep going.

Then I only have to have the seat to drive it.

Are "how away pics" some new photog term that is applicable to only your skill level?

The interior is very close to done!

I have to swap the passenger door and install the stereo stuff.

I also need to steam clean the seat.

I ordered a new sliding back glass from a later model. Oddly enough the glass out of 73-96 are all the same size just slightly different gaskets.

Once I put it in the guy comes to tint the glass in the doors.

I have some of the parts for the electric AC conversion. Waiting on compressor, condenser and evaporator. Then I will have the hoses made to length when I decide where to mount the second battery and compressor.

The cube is coming along nicely. I am taking photo lessons Saturday and should get some decent shots of both tanks then.

I do hope you're going with a train horn on it! (The truck. Not the cube.)

Why not both?
