teenyreef Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Wow, that's the fastest tank upgrade I've ever seen! I love the look of the Mame overflow but I never considered it because I was sure I'd break it eventually. I love the new scape with the Stax rocks. They look much better in real life than I thought they would. You've done a great job! 1 Quote Link to comment

It went from breaking my Mame at 10AM, to me picking up the tank by that afternoon, and the install happened that same night. Fortunately, all I had to do was drill some new holes in my existing stand to accommodate the ELOS plumbing. I love the stax rocks, and plan on using them in future tanks. 1 Quote Link to comment

gogeta Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I really REALLY really like that scape. It's a miniature cannon live the cannon scapes and the fact you've managed to absolutely nail it on such a small scale is awesome! Corals are looking super healthy too 1 Quote Link to comment

The back half of the store is where all the goodies are, and where the employees stand around. I haven't gone to Aqua Pros yet, I'll definitely have to check them out the next time I'm in Chicago again though. Quote Link to comment

I should be done adding corals now; the tank's foundations are pretty much done. Time to wait for things to grow in and fill the scape up! Quote Link to comment
