Nice job looks like you have put a lot of effort into it. I'm hoping my 90 inwall turns out as good. I like you haven't painted the back of my tank either. At some point I may just put some of the black plastic sheet on it However without a lot of light in the tank room there may not be much of a need. I'm just going to wait and see for now.

Thanks Terry for the kind words. I have to admit that I wasn't alone doing it. A friend of mine on this site Tang man Montreal was very helpful to me.

As for the back of my tank the coralline algae is groing very fast and I think I will let it go like that for a while.

Thanks Vince,

Everything is going find.

And finally tonight after a few month's of waiting I'm going to get a chevron tang.

He as been quarantine for two weeks now and eat very well.

Let's give him a little car ride.

Quick update.

After a long time looking for it I finnaly found a Chevron tang. He's doing well eating well but is a bit shy in the big tank all alone with two false percs.

Will try to take a pic tomorrow.

Anyone with Chevron Pic want to share.

Had to snap something else.

Those are nice shrooms that are groing very fast in the shade in the middle of the tank.

The growth is very suprising.

Does any one still keep some acan. I'm just a little curious as I don't see them really often. Here's a shot of mine.
