Are you sure its broken because I thought the same thing, but it was just curved to allow room for the skimmer....

<giggle!> :naka: :naka:

I am getting the water into it and the LR. I accidentally got too much sand in there too out of the bucket, so am scooping some of that out too...


Laurie

I think maybe the glass for the hood was important too, because the refugium light has no legs and it is pretty precarious sitting there with no glass above the water. I may not put it on until I can get new glass cut, or they replace it whichever winds up happening...

I can't wait to see it full. That stand looks like it fits the tank perfectly. I really think I may order one of these tanks. I want a small nano to put next to my computer.

 

[jessiesgrrl]

It is actually an antique Singer Sewing machine that was handed down to me, The sewing machine folds up underneath the table, as does a wooden arm. The Finnex sat right on it, which was awesome since we haven't built the stand or good yet.

It's full of water now, putting LR in. I always do things butt backwards I swear...

[Chris2222000]

Oh yea that looks broken lol. At least it was only the top and not the tank...now that would suck.

I stayed up last night until 1am aquascaping it with Fiji rock and Tonga branches, macros, and then this morning I got up before work and put in most of my zoas since the water had cleared. They wouldn't all fit... I'll post pics when I get home!!!!
