Hello all, My name is Roger. I've had a couple of saltwater tanks in the last 5 or 6 years and i've been a lurker and a member here for over a year. I kept telling people I wasn't going to introduce myself until I got a camera and had pics to show, so yesterday I went a grabbed a camera and here I am.

Most of the sponsors in the area probably know my face even if they dont know my name, and in the last week i've had the opportunity to meet Grassi, Impur, Emerald525 and Tanktop74 and i'm looking forward to meeting more of you now that i'm out in the open.

I'm a fan of the Zoa's and sps so i'm trying to grow them both in my tank. I've got dual 400w Halides on each end of the tank and 96 watts of T5 light in the center to kind of even out the color.

Here's a pic with all the lights on.

Heres one with just the T5.

And here is probably my clearest picture yet.

I havent quite got the hang of fixing the color's in the pictures just yet.

Thanks for lookin' i'm going to go back to lurking for now.

I think you have to check that box everytime you want to save one. I checked it once and it saved that message but it hasnt saved the three I've sent since then.

I'll take it. I was just at your house, maybe I should have asked "what else ya got".

i think thats people you have chosen as friends.

I'll take the Mohawks and Lotus Eaters

I'm voting to add to the TECO order but I was really looking forward to the CA's and the Rasta's.

What else does he have besides the 2 examples?

If you tell me you "locked down" the soprano and I will take the last 5 spots too:D

pm sent, I think?

I saw one tank where the guy glued anchors to the bottom of his tank to hold the foam structures down.

I haven't bought the paint yet, but since I have zero experience with either I figured paint would be more forgiving.

I have some noob questions. What does MRA stand for? Are the "Blue magicians" different than the "magicians" I have, mine are purple/red with green speckles?

It looks like there is more stuff going on around the corner that you cant see, maybe once the bottom tank fills there is extra sump room.

The top would definatley need to be fish only, or maybe you could make it some kind of surge tank.

You arent charging me for the labor so I cant really get too impatient. I think painting it is going to be the easiest option. I guess I better go ahead and order the fans.

Its lookin' awesome shane! Now if I can just get the inside of the tank to look as good as the outside will i'm set.

Thats funny i work i the Triple H building down the street behind chevron, i'll call you tomorrow. Just out of curiosity what did it cost to build that setup, pm me if you dont want to announce it to everyone.

Rick and Shane thank you both for the offers, are either of you guys around tomorrow or possibly even tonight?

BTW Shane that stand is beautiful.

At this point i dont really have anything to trade, but coming by to see your setup would be awesome. I live behind "Mcgraths Fishhouse" on Mill Plain so you cant be too far away.

I just bought a used AGA 125 (the 6ft version not the 4ft) and the stand and canopy are fairly rough.

I can work with what I have, but if anyone has a Stand/Canopy combo for this size tank just laying around, I would like to trade it out for something else before i put stuff in it.
