    Bo, you got a fish room now?! Aaron beat me to it. Our Tractor Supply has them in 100 gal, 150 gal and 300 gal.

    I bought my RO/DI tank and my mixing station tanks from them.

    Okay here we go! The tanks in it's new home and I can't thank Shane and Jake for the help with the moving of the tank. You guys made it so much easier! First picture is from my couch the rest are the installation of the black ABS sheet. I really like the look and it makes it look different from the traditional sand bottom. It is siliconed down for the simple reason of keeping the detritus out from underneath. Also I have it stocked and running......don't mention his little fin when you are over for the December meeting he's sensitive.

    Looks fantastic Aaron! How many drain holes in the overflow? That tank really reminds me of my DSA. I know many of their employees went to Planet when DSA closed it's doors.

    Unfortunately Nemo is taking up to much space and had to be removed and is now a Heidi toy. With that said I rinsed the dry rock that I have and will be posting pictures of some aquascapes. Input will be appreciated and I will be up for doing an aquascaping day for the December meeting if everyone would interested in such activity. If not I will construct whatever looks cool and will function for having a LOT of sps. I will be going for a minimal aquascape or a "Bonsai" aquascape. I want to thank John over at Reef Cleaners, he and I exchanged a few emails and he got the vision that I had in mind and we worked out how much rock I would need and he picked out the rock and put a mock aquascape together and sent me some of what he though would work the best for my dream.
