I used the TLF epoxy and I have to admit, it worked great and the bond is rock hard. I did use some ceramic chopsticks to hold some of my rockwork as it was pretty heavy on one side, pics are on my sig.

:lol: Thanks, the thread has deviated from being a resource to a chatterbox as of late, but im just glad the tank is up and running, my daughter OOO and AHHH at it, that makes it all worth while.

I'm setting up a 38 gallon at home and am definitely looking forward to sharing those moments with my 1 1/2 year old. They grow so fast!

My daughter was face timing(iPhone) with my mother in laws friend and was showing them my tank and sump, shes only 3 and was describing how the water flowed in my tank, into the sump and out. Shes my biggest help in this hobby. Are you going to be doing a traditional reef or a bonsai reef? Do a bonsai, do it, do it.

I'm not sure yet, although I don't plan on using a whole lot of rock in the tank. I kind of like the minimalist approach and believe it will make the tank look larger and be easier to clean. I last had a freshwater planted tank when I was single living in an apartment. Now I'm married with children and have a little more real estate to work with. My last reef tank was here in the MD offices before we changed buildings, which I was pretty proud of (my 1st SW tank!)... although admittedly my aquascape just looked like a pile of rocks until the corals grew in. Here's a photo:

I've been craiglisting old furniture to make space for the tank. Anyone in Southern California need a couch? lol
