Probably black as the wing arm is already in black now.......hell I wasn't simple looking at only a few colors........black, natural and polished aluminum and chrome.......hell cant go to wild on it.......... Pewter would be different and kind of like it but I want something I can fix really easy.......that is half the reason I have went black on everything until now. Hell I can mess things up and have and a quick spray and it looks good again Quote Link to comment

Not sure what she's been eating.....maybe pods and left over mysis? I haven't seen her take anything out of the water column. She seems to scooter around in the early morning while it's dark.....maybe she feels more secure as her movement is totally off? She's like a drunk bumping in to everything. During the day she hitches onto the bottom and just sits there. The Ethereal is doing ok. I figured out the most basic of settings .... so, Im leaving it alone for now. Looks good. What's new over there? 29 minutes ago, spectra said: I am actually thinking of painting the tank and fender a gray color. I have always liked a dark silver gray metallic.......will see what happens.

Mono mounts to the back bone and then to the swing arm.....I am heading into work tomorrow to mock it up on the table will tack it all together and snap a pic and you will go oh that's simple.........you cant see but the frame has a mount at the end of the back bone where it flares out. 1 Quote Link to comment
