Just a few more updates made a super sick aquascape that I’m super proud of!!! First time ever doing something this large let me know what you think! I call it Zoa Paradise Island! I need to get some more frag’s that's for sure! Excuse the mess of corals been hectic moving everything around the house, I actually had to drain and remove all the rocks in order to move the tank over the right about a foot and a half, didn’t like the way it lined up, after 3 hours of draining, filling, water change and redoing the aquascape I finally have the finished product and have to say I’m so happy at the way this tank is progressing already!! Will continue to up-date this as frequent as I possibly can if you have any questions let me know! Now time to photo bomb with a ton of new pictures, sorry for the poor quality all I have is my s5 with a macro lens attachment, my cannon camera is broken I think my cousin’s dropped the lens doesn’t work in auto mode but will take pictures in manual focus but cannot focus it, makes a grinding and clicking noise when it’s in auto, no idea off topic, looking at new lens’s though would love some advise done want to spend a fortune either, I have a canon rebel t3. Pictures!! All pictures are under all 7 ATI bulbs, need to take this fixture in and have someone repair it for me, I took it all apart and cleaned everything then painted it, the previous owner didn’t take care of it at all and had super bad salt creep, need to replace all the t5 socket holders but I have no idea what I’m doing with this and I tried to figure it out and gave up its too darn confusing for me with all the wires and shunted or no shunted blah!

So haven't posted in a while been redoing the stand for the 120 and have since taken it down and moved everything to a 40 breeder, going to be getting a new trigger systems tideline 36 and looking at either kessil a360we or the hydra 26 retrofit into the ten light and keeping the outer 4 bulbsany suggestions? Stand pics so far should have more done this weekend!

So have the stand about 90% complete now just need to finish doing the doors and get them installed, also debating on a canopy right now, hoping to have my new tideline 36 inch sump next friday and then can start the plumbing project all over again, will be doing a return manifold with 5 valves jsut incase i ever want to add anything, mainly going to be for GFO, Carbo and biopellets possibly. Anyways here is some pictures of the stand as is and jsut brought upstairs last night thanks to 4 of my local friends who i had to bribe to come lift this beast! should be wet in the next month as equipment slowly starts coming in! redoing everything with this!!
