Ill post pics soon, i guess i should start a build thread. It is acrylic, tru vu. When i bought it he said it had been buffed at seahorse. I could tell it still had scratches when i first saw it, but now that i look closer it has a LOT, most will be less visible with water (i hope...). After buying it i don't really have the funds to have it buffed and buy all that salt i'm gonna need. If i don't have it buffed and wait to set it up ill probably regret it though ? Poor planning on my part :-( On a lighter note the stand and hood are beautiful!

I bought the tank :-) Its pretty scratched up though :-( Oh well its better than what i have, and its big, really really big.

Thank you i couldn't imagine a more helpful answer. I love this site. :-)

=-Not sure if this is the right place for this thread but here goes. I'm looking at a 125 gallon tank tomorrow and just curious if worries about warping the floor are valid, i guess the extreme would be going through the floor. My house is old 20s construction. I currently have a 55. I would never try a 300 but a 125 isn't really that bad, is it? My foundation could be pillar and post, this house is old! One story house so wouldn't go upstairs. Thanx for any input.

That is great! Do you remember if they were about the same size when you put them together or was one larger than the other?

wow that is incredible!

how much for the tank and stand only?

55 gallon. A little background info i didn't give before. I had a hi fin banded goby without a shrimp in addition to another goby with a tiger pistol shrimp. Then i get home with a new tiger pistol shrimp, and realized with all the redecorating i had done the day before i had lost track of the shrimp-less goby. I couldn't find him anywhere. Thats when i got to thinking maybe i could pair up the shrimp (how cool would that have been). Well anyways i tried it (before i had a chance to read Nick's post) but it didn't work the shrimp did not enter the burrow he just took off into the rock work. Its as if these little guys have a mind of their own LOL. This story has a very happy ending though, because when i woke up this morning the lost shrimp and lost goby had found each other in the night and have a burrow of their own now. :-)

Eugene is so far away :-(

I guess i lucked out then because when i released the new shrimp he took off away from the burrow. I have no idea where he is now but i'm pretty sure hes out of the others territory.

I'm considering dropping a tiger pistol shrimp right into the den of a tiger pistol shrimp i already have. Has anyone tried this?

So i got a coral beauty at fanta seas last weekend and my kole tang flipped out chasing her all over the tank. I moved some rocks no good. So i bought more rocks and made a cave for the coral beauty to hide in, but now the kole has decided this is his too and chases her out. I think i have to give her up (the coral beuty not the kole) because now shes not eating. She is still heallthy but i don't want to keep her from eating. She is not a coral nipper so far but i have only had her a week so i guess that could change? Love this fish hate to see her go, she is in my avatar photo. would trade for any coral that would do well under medium light would really like a toadstool. If anyone has a pistol shrimp that would be great too. No fish please by order of the kole tang.

They had these at the Oregon coast aquarium in Newport a while back, amazing to see!

Make sure your tang gets lots of spirulina. I had one die on me from poor diet, wont make that mistake again.

Those platinums look like the're going to rob a bank lol
