For those of you that were at the last meeting you know that I had a tank move planned. The move went well and everything seems to be happy.

Here is what I started with:

now thats what i want.
is the new pics the 125 or is it the old pics. the inwall looks bigger than a 125
i have this great little nook in my basement about 7 foot by 6 foot, i want to build a wall to seperate it off and put in a inwall tank there.

Looks great

It is the same tank but I did not put all the rock back in, I needed more room for SPS's!!!! The tank is a back drop for a bar that I am building. I will post more pics once the project is complete.

That looks great clarktod. Glad the move went well.:) I know how much of a pain it is to move a tank, even if it is within the same house. I really like how you left your rockwork a lot lower this time around. It leaves the tank looking more "open" and leaves more room for vertical growth of the sps corals. Are you planning to use the sump for frag grow-out, growing macroalgae, or both?

You're my hero!:inlove: :beer:

I need the bar fixtures, but have all the liquor to stock one. Oh, and I have most of the wacky signs for a bar too. fish behind the bar is a GREAT idea! Sip a fogcutter while comtemplating the life of a purple pseudochromis....yeah.....

We already have a 65" HD in the other room. I was thinking a pool table.
