Matty, this morning I ordered the Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens

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!

 

[Jimbo662]

Thx...yeah...it took me about 10 yrs and upgrading from my 120g freshwater to this one to finally breakdown and do it.

Got some pics of my new tenants I've picked up over the last couple of weeks. Also got a blasto but forgot to take a pic.

[Jimbo662]

thanks...I finally started getting better pics with my macro lens set at 2.8, 1/800 and 3200 ISO.

Very nice! Hows the powder blue doing? I havent been able to keep any alive past 3 days.

 

[Jimbo662]

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.

 

[kevdogg]

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!

 

[Jimbo662]

$*&$(^#*&^%^$^%^&**&)((*&^&%$!!!!! got home today and crabzilla was sitting on my powder blue and chowing down! when I fed last night he seemed completely fine!

sorry to hear about your tang, but I just finished reading through your build, great job on quite an undertaking!

 

[Jimbo662]

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

 

[kevdogg]

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.

 

[Jimbo662]

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?"
