              I'm not usually a big fan of those rock BG's, but that one looks really nice! Can't wait to see this all come together, looking good so far!

                              K update, dont have any new pictures to show as im saving that for April for everyone too see. But heres whats happend in the last few weeks. The rock backing got completely sealed in all the way around. The fluval got hooked up, tank filled with allready established water, used bio for filter. So as of right now the tank is up and running with the 405

                              Still to be done - Need to get my light setup done, have it planned out on what im doing just need the light and to wire them in and get the electrical done. Need to transfew a few filters around and put the Ac 110 on there along with the two 500g powerheads i havent gotten yet either. Iv gotten a few scapping stones too see how they match up with the backing and i DO LIKE, so much more of those need to be purchased as well and the main scaping will be complete. Got a few fellow box members helping me with some things to aid in the final completion of the tank.

                              I appreciate all the comments and support you guys have given me and i know its seems like this is taking F O R E V E R . . . but its been a project and a fun one at that, in the end i know the whole thing will deffinetly be worth the work and time it has taken me.

                              Oh and some may wonder, there are some fish in there right now too keep the bio alive. They are just temp till i get the tropheus in i threw in about 16 horei in there. They've been in for a few days now and seem to be doing ok. I think they like the swimming area seeing how they used to be in a 20h going to a 125 lol. Well thats the update for now !!
