can you show us a close up of the finished
stand please?
Let me know if you are looking for a different angle.

Here's some pictures after the hurricane came through:

This is very interesting and loving it. I just read the Victorian Aquarists adventures in marine fish keeping in Advanced Aquarist. Your build reminds me of some of the stands. Following along.

I'm humbled to say the least, glad you like it.

I hope to have it salty this week.

Honestly, I would pay an obscene amount of money for that stand. I LOVE mermaids. So that's seriously like my dreams stand.

Dandrews, thank you, I'm glad to hear that you like the stand.

I wish I could have found a mirrored image of the mermaid for the left side of the tank.

(Disregard the heater in the corner, I need to get a shorter one for the sump.)

I really like it! Great job!

The tank has finished it's cycle and I plan to introduce a Diamond Goby later today or tomorrow.

I am leaning towards fairy wrasses, zoas, ricordeas, and cup coral in this tank. Does any one have suggestions for other cool fish if I don't go with wrasses?

I can't believe how fast the time has went by. Sadly, I have broke the tank down, as I am now traveling too much to maintain the tank.
