DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Very nice, can't wait to see what you have in store for it. Also, the freshwater tank, what do you have in there? Looks like a blue gill lol. Can't really tell though. Quote Link to comment

Blue Demp Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 I want to reinforce the stands but don't have the slightest clue where to start? Would 3/4 plywood in the back be sufficient? Quote Link to comment
HiImSean Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 That Umbi is sick! I miss SA cichlids. I’d love to get back into them. I had a huge Psittacus a few years back and I miss her. 1 Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 So far so good! Next up is to get it painted to match Quote Link to comment

Blue Demp Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 11 hours ago, billygoat said: Lookin' mighty slick! Is the ATO reservoir going to stay on the outside? Thanks! I decided to leave out for the following reasons: 1. I didn't want to risk accidentally dumping water in the stand. 2. It sticks out a bit and would take up too much real-estate . 3. It's looks darn good, so why hide it? I screwed up the grommet holes so I'm going to build another backer-board, but this time level and mark where I'm going to put the holes. I also placed a BRS order for an MP10 upgrade, and a bracket to mount it. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment

Blue Demp Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I should be getting the tank wet pretty soon! I’m picking up my HMS mounts for my Hydras from New Wave Aquaria and I got word from the owner that my aquascape is ready as well. Here’s some preview pix. Everything is finally moving along!
