thanks bax and eric. i do enjoy the bikes both riding them and building them, the bike business is slowly taking off and along with the tattoo shop going full strength i wear myself out most of the time, but somehow seem to always find time for my little tank project too!

not a lot to post on my tank lately just kinda sitting back watching everything settle in and color up, that and i have been building a new reef at the tattoo shop wich will make 2 in there now the new one i have been building is a 60 hex that we drilled and put a custom overflow box in, that has bulkheads drilled into it for custom return lines that run down to the bottom of the tank with lockline coming out of them. it will house a single species of coral a huge blue stag that the gys at reefermadness will be getting in for me(hopefully real soon) and either a single species of fish or maybe two or three species at most. the drain is ran into an adjacent closet to the tank where it feeds into a 100g rubbermaid, the closet used to be for med supplies for the tattoo shop so inturn i had to build a whaole new closet for that stuff. isnt it funny how our tanks start taking priority over everything. lol. the tank will be lit with one 400w 20k xm either in a lumenarc reflector or i will turn the entire canopy into a reflector(by the way building a canopy with a swinging door for a hex tank sucks). i know its not the tank this thread is for but it has turned out really cool and just wanted to bring it up. considering it is on a custom stand and canopy i hand built for the simple reason i have never seen a canopy on a hex or a cool stand either
