thanks, and sure...........

Dang dude, looks awesome. That Foxface is sexy!!!!

thanks man.. he's still acclimating to the tank, he's still going camo but at least not as much as he did before...

Ill try to make my way over there this weekend. Looks good.

thanks chris..
 
Mine went camo for about a month. Now it only does when it gets spooked, which isn't that often.
 
LOL. An ostridge huh? Better than being an opossum and playing dead right?

See if one of the tangs is chasing him around. Otherwise just give him a little time and I bet he'll be fine!

he only goes camo with us, he whips out the spikes when the purple comes around..
 
What an amazing build! Just read the whole thread this morning. I am very new to the hobby, still researching etc., but this is one of the sexiest rimless tanks I have ever seen!! Keep up all of the awesome work man! Can't wait to see how it looks filled in.

Looks like I will be looking into Reef Savvy for future purchases!
 
Just beautiful.

thank you

so i called Rick to get a replacement, i scrapped the fixture and while being highly annoyed at the entire situation waiting on the PB-Blast to penetrate the bottom nut which has rusted shut i came up with this....

this actually worked out much better than i expected up and away from everything.. i also swapped out the shroud and cap that the shroud screws onto.

your tank is comming along very nice! man I love how clean your set up is...that's something I always wanted to do...also that skimmer stand is supper clean and I love that its adjustable...
 
How is your algae scrubber working for you? My buddy wants to incorporate one into his build and it's interesting to see how others do it. Plus with how you've done your entire build, I'm sure a lot of thought and planning went into the design and implementation.
