Yup, for the most part... the upper pieces just to the right of the large mound on the left are PA Manado

Outstanding - a really beautiful tank. I can imagine it filled with coral in a few years. What do you have going on with those MP40s? I'm assuming the foam is there to protect the intake from an anemone etc? How did you put that together and secure it?

The foam covers come free with the MP-40's. They just slip over the exterior of the wet side.

They are there for the anemone... he has a habit after any feedings I give him to move. On days when I don't feed him he stays put. Weird little guy, you'd think it'd be the opposite.

Yup, It's my Chevy. Great fish!

Aquascaping was one of the harder parts. I had to cross my fingers a few times, pray to the Pukani gods and hope for a decent piece while I dropped them on the pavement.

Thanks

3 months so far.

I went too fast in stocking it and didn't QT as much as I should. So far no major concerns/issues.

I'm slowing down now... I've got too much invested to be acting foolishly.

Really nice, I'm actually looking to get a t2i for pics and videos.

I was thinking about a dslr, but they are pretty expensive. I just decided to go with the cheapest one that had a good optical zoom while having full manual features... white balance, exposure and focus.

A DSLR would be cool, but being that I'm not a huge photography buff I figure it'd be more than I need.

I mostly wanted something that I could take tank ID pics with.
