Why isn't this in the tank showcase? You might want to remove that screen on the powerhead....if it rusts you're gonna have trouble. Everything looks great.

Thank you. I thought it was a diy cause I build most of it myself. Maybe I'll ask to have it moved.
The screen is 100% fiberglass. It's pet proof, and the wire tie is all plastic. The kid at Canadian Tire looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked if it had a metal clip or not, then made him open bags til I found the ones that weren't. LOL!
Here's a coule pics I came home to today. My wife & I thought they were worth taking. I do need some more algae eater thought. I made the mistake of putting all my snails on one side of the tank when I brought them back from the sitters and they haven't left the 2 rocks on the right. Mind you they are really nice and clean but the rest of the tank is looking crappy.

When I looked at the pic, it looked like window screen...Nice job on the tank..Have Biff move it so everyone can enjoy the build thread.
Maybe the Urchin will give the snails a rider to the other side of the tank.:D

New additions.
I like Urchins. They look so cool. I couldn't pass this guy up for 10 bucks. I also picked up a Snailfin Blenny and 3 more lbs of rubble for my refugium. It's not the greatest pick of the Blenny but the substrate in the bag looks like food and the clown kept trying to eat it threw the bag. I'll get better pics when they make it to the display tank.

Those are great names for them. I used to have a guinea pig named Cashew. She had a sister named Kiwi. ;)
Nice shot of the two of them. It looks like they have plenty of food in there for them!

I liked naming them. Ashley named the rabbit Nibbles Truffles Hammond Rice. Kim named the purple Urchin & my boys named these 2. Ashley gets the next one & I get the one after that.
Thank you. There's lots of food in there. I had to quit feeding them the pellets I was feeding them in the morning cause it started cause a lot of red algea break out. I'm getting 8 more snails, 3 Blue legged Hermits and an emerald crab next week. 3 Snails are going in the refugium and a maybe a crab. Not too sure yet. I need more empty shells for the 4 I have already.

Nice additions grassman! Make sure all your frags get glued down, I had to banish my halloween urchin because he kept picking up my SPS frags and dropping them in the sand.

Ok, my fish are going to hate me but the algae is way too much for me to handle. Going to try and DIY an algae scrubber. Right now I'm blacking my tank out to see if I can slow it's growth.
