Scurvy’s Mad Wrasse 110

Saturday progress report. PVC cement was a solid glob so no setting in the return plumbing. Luckily thats all I need to cement in place. Ordered up lights for the cabinet, new cement, An Alexa for Apex integration, wire management trays and some fasteners for mounting controllers. Funny how we always overlook the little things but i want to do it right the first time.

So what did we actually accomplish? Not much. Wanted the boxes of rocks out of the living room so I started a scape. Spent a couple of hours working and wound up with this. I like it but it still needs some work. Need to stretch it out a little end to end, possibly totally separating the left side and right sides. I also need to re-hang the light to get a better feel on shadowing. Will get to that this week.

I would leave this piece as is and maybe add a small island with a cave for hiding on the right side. I would love to have this piece in my tank. You have room for coral, swim throughs etc. I already have a new scape built and ready to get wet whenever I'm ready but now I would love to do another one based on this structure. If I thought I could sell scapes for a living and it it didn't cost so much for rock, I could do that all day everyday.

Thats certainly a job i wouldnt mind doing evey day! For the most part im happy with this. Just needs a little tweaking. My only must have is ample space on the bottom for a big fat Trachy.
 
The past 2 days have gotten away from me unfortunately so not much to report. Going to work on pulling the Apex off the other tank tonight and try to finish off the scape so I can get that mounted up in the cabinet here.
 
Haha, Normally you’d probably be spot on! My brother and I took my father out to watch some of the football game yesterday. He doesn’t get around well anymore so we try to get him out to see some friends when we can.
 
I got completely snubbed by Marco when I was setting up my 90. This was during the hurricane last year but even after they returned, he never followed up on multiple emails I sent.

That stinks. We understand things happen but being ignored is the worst. Your scape turned out great without them!
 
A couple of baby steps... Light was pulled down and 1st layer of putty in place patching holes in ceiling.

Also got an electrical recepticle cover in place behind the tank.

Let there be light! In the cabinet that is...

We got white, we got orange and we got disco party strobe lights. Yes, I may be getting excited about something ill never use but I like it.
