I'm not to big on inwall tanks but I like yours. Very nice
Ya, most in-wall's only have a front view. I'm lucky that I built mine onto the corner of the room so I get an end view. I can also take pictures from the back too. Of course there is always the top down.

Thanks Chris. The lobo picture in post 55 is the best representation of its true colors I've been able to get so far. Its one of my favorite corals in the tank.

Since I hooked up my Apex and set up three switches for pump and lighting control I wanted to make something decorative to cover up eight years of hole's in the wall that I've never patched.
I took a picture frame, some black acrylic and started carving with the dremel.
This is what I came up with.

Oh yah, that looks so much better Duane. Was over to check out this tank and do a lil Coral Trading with Duane yesterday and can tell that the corals color and growth have been exceptional since I last it.

Cheers, Todd

This week I built a few things to help with some loose ends I had regarding my new apex and my tank in general.
A float switch for the skimmer collection cup,
another switch box for the breakout box,
and a heater holder so they wont be lying in the bottom of the sump like they have for eight years now.

I'll get a close up of that awesome coral in the next couple days Todd. I took a few top downs the other day as well but I don't think they turned out as well as yours. I did take some time tonight and tried once again to hook my evergrows up to my Apex. This time, IT WORKED!! I'll be adding cat 5 to my three fixtures after work tomorrow and playing with a couple lightning sims to stress my fish out.

Joe, my wife has a Canon T4i. I think its a great camera.

I made a short video of my apex storm mode. Pumps ramp up and the lights ramp down and then vise versa at the end. This is shortened from 12 minutes of the total time.[video=youtube_share;C9pq9F-urpc]http://youtu.be/C9pq9F-urpc[/video]
