Yap , you guessed it...
With all you guys building shmick new tanks I was getting really jealous .

So I decided to put in the effort and follow suit.

Over the weekend my Eastcoast tanks custom three foot got the royal treatment.

Every single glass inch , including the coast to coast got cleaned. Even the pipes got the once over.

Result brand new looking tank!!!!!

Next weekend I'll tackle those wavemakers as they need some attention-

Enjoy

Geez. I think I just lost the "OCD" label everyone gives me !!!! One tank looking amazingly "smick".

Part of the fun is the grow out .... I'm waiting for that exponential growth that the famous SPS keepers seem to have the knack of.
I guess if the contents were shipped, it's very likely the restocking would look the same.

Cheers mate- there is plenty of flow... I kinda forgot how much flow until my sister kindly pointed out how the fish were swimming sideways.

Thanks for liking the scape, I'm stoked with it too.... The beauty of it is I can rotate it anytime for a different look.

Yap - I saw two different doctors for my OCD last week.
They both could not help me sort my problems.
The OCD was coursing through my veins whilst holding that razor blade.

Nothing like a good sandstorm or mega tsunami when the mood fancys... The Acans don't like it much but the sticks hold up well.

Thanks for the compliment Dom, that means a lot.

If looking at the FTS - I've kept the stags at the back, the Millie's on the front table, the assorted acros on that left branch.
I've put the birds nest on an island , the blue and yellow tenius on another , the final island will be poccis and a stray Stylo . I'm sure there will be another island creation sometime , that's if I get my hands on some of Biggles purrty SPS one summers day, lol !

I'm so looking forward to your new three footer and hope the scapeing gods shine down on yours.
Cheers!

 

[slin1977]

So I decided to create Pocci island. I only have green pocci and one pink one , the Stylo gets to sit on the peak.
