It's in Knoxville! And she looks like this...

I am curious and I guess I never thought to ask, but what have you thought about doing with the left side glass that will be close to the wall? Is it part of the background plans? You don't have much of the back wall to work with because of the overflow.

She is going to be scaped to fit that.

He is beyond excited!!! He'll be able to have a flame angel and eventually his Mandarin.

I honestly think he's looking forward to the mechanics and lighting as much as the aesthetics.

Katrina71 · May 1, 2020

He is not excited about the stand. That's mine. He would choose black, sleek, and the LEDs exposed.

That design just doesn't work where this tank is going.

Joe, have you ever etched glass on the rear panel of a tank? Even a faux panel.

Howie Mandel had his agent's company logo etched in the real panel when he had the guys from Tanked redo their aquarium. It's a really cool look (the fake corals aren't but you get the idea)

He'll have a swank tank one day.

I'd be more like Lalique or Mucha.

Mike, the dock manager said the crate is perfect and doubtful on any damage! He also said it's gonna be fun taking the crate apart.

Getting really $#@! Excited!!!

I doubt theres any damage either but it might be important to mention to him that you're not just inspecting it for damage related to shipping. You're looking for anything from the manufacturing side of things as well :)

And yeah, wasn't easy taking apart my crate... make sure you've got a flashlight, Phillips and Robinson bit and maybe a hammer and crowbar, OH and be gentle!
