Very Nice.. I use the 60mm on my 7D and love it.. the extra reach would be nice

Got a couple of new additions. Couldn't get a good pic of the tri-color from a local reefer or the Undata from an LFS. They had a "Saturday special" in one of the frag tanks and picked up a piece for $10. The tang is only about 2" long.

Tank looks great! I'm a huge fan of the in-wall setups and hope to do the same one day! Everything looks great!

the powder blue is doing good. within an hour of putting him in the tank that first day he showed everyone he was boss. no one else bothers him at all.

Glad to hear that! Wish my new additions would stand up for themselves.

Great build to follow! Very similar to mine, but on a much larger scale. :) Great work!

Thanks...about a month into it I finally realized what I'd gotten myself into but it was too late! :-)

It took a month? I think I realized there was an issue when I realized the tank took up the entire wall!

Sorry to hear about the PBT. I hate when that happens.

It actually took a little over two months with me doing everything myself. and yes...once I cut the hole in the and actaully realized there was only 6" left on each side reality really set in and I thought "what am I doing?"
