On the way to it's final destination...
Our first time building a canopy and stand... not too shabby =) (need to build doors though...thought it would look good without at first)
Backroom
Sump, damn this K2 skimmer is big!
Had to fix some rocks touching glass in back, and like Viet told me, once you touch it, it won't go back the same!

Nice aqascaping! did you use acrylic rods for the towers? Also, why such a large canopy, care to show the insides of it?
Pendants need at least 15" bulb height. It's at about 14.5" right now. I could have cut a few inches of canopy, but I actually think it fits nicely with ceiling height, looks like a wall cabinet. Still have to cut holes in sides for my 120 mm fans.
Only 2 fiberglass rods used, driveway markers from Home Depot
Do yourself a major future favor. Do not leave those button polyps in the middle of your rockwork. If you want to keep them in your tank isolate them or they will be a major problem later.
Thanks for the heads up Semi. I did plan to let it grow onto one more rock, since I'm going to frag it to a friend who is setting up tank right now. Do you know how long they usually take to polyp out? Days, weeks, a month?
Their resting place will probably be on the sand in the front middle later.
Is this as much as a nuisance as GSP's, or not "as" bad?
In my opinion it can be just as bad. I would move it to the sand
Looks good Jimmy!

Thanks John. Some of your rock is in there too! =)
Great job, Jimmy! Thanks for posting the photos. I am impressed that you guys built the stand & canopy yourselves. Where did you get the fans for your canopy?
First FTS
Added 4 Chromies
One week later, picked up 5 bandit snail, 20 hermit crabs, and Viet donated a rock full of Button Polyps (my first coral!!!)
