Thanks so much guys... very much appreciated. I think I need to buy some black poster board to use when I take pics from the side. Too many reflections and glare, LOL.

Thank you ciera2655! You will love the dimensions on the 300dd. Good luck and we're looking forward to seeing a build thread from you!

Hope we're not making a mistake... but we decided to move the Bellae's back to the DT tonight while the wrasse continuum is still getting used to the newly assimilated Rhomboids and the territories are not laid in stone. They are chilling in the acclimation box for now. Wish us luck!

Your Bellae looks amazing. really nice tank.

 

[Mike&Terry]

Thanks SteezySPS for the compliment and taking the time to post in our thread. We truly appreciate it! Our Bellae's started out as a male/female pair, but the female has recently decided she would rather be a male, LOL.

 

[SteezySPS]

imagine if your wife decide to turn male. lol

Thanks bro, we appreciate that. We volunteered to be one of the stops for the Richmond Tank Crawl in May and we'll be hosting our annual reef party sometime in October.

Our baby girl Bell's has morphed into a teenage boy:



So much for having a male/female pair. Thankfully the two get along fine and seem to enjoy each others company.

The smallest Rhomboid female has been MIA for 3 or 4 days. She is a little nano and has been shy all along and afraid of all of the larger fish. We're hoping she is just hiding. I've written her off a couple of times now and she's miraculously re-appeared at a feeding ate like a pig and bolted back in the rock. So, I'm not giving up yet. The other two are doing great as are the 3 Eightline Flashers.

I got lucky last night and caught our Red Velvet Fairy putting on a show:

Incredible system Mike and Terry! Do you have any more pics of the cabinetry? Looks a lot like what we want to do with our 150. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Dave! Here's a link to a flickr set w/some pictures. If you still want more, let us know and we'll add to the set.

Stand and Canopy - a set on Flickr

The (2) side cabinets have 1 small drawer, A larger drawer w/shelf (looks like a large cabinet door) and 1 cabinet door giving plenty of room for storage. The best part of the design is the versatility of the canopy. It has 4 doors across the front and one on each side along with a piano hinge across the front to allow for easy access.

With the ease of access, we are able to completely empty and refill the tank of all livestock, rock and sand w/out having to remove the canopy. This can be a real life saver in the event of a failure - we've had two.
