Finally, my new tank

It has a been a long and tedious process but it is now complete. I want to thank jon (jaw969), Harry (adams0816), Christina (Clown-N-Around), and Mike and Tom at Aqua Imports. Without all of there help I wouldn't have been able to make this project successful.

Here is some shots of the tank, before and after.

Any input would be great.

Thanks...

Hey Matt, let me know when you have the patience to come over and help me frag some hammer/anchor for your new tank. It'll be ready for a trim here in a week or so.

Thanks for all the kind words, I love aquascaping, for me It's one of the best parts of reefing.
