225 Heading to Texas!

RF,

I have to think about moving CFI to Texas. Some hard core aquarists down there! Here you go Paul!
This tank has a sweet footprint. 60x36x24, all 1/2" material, with a Black Back. Here are a few pic's, Enjoy, J

This is how it all starts, a big pile of machined domestic cell cast acrylic!


After a few hours of hard labor, the top panel is ready!


After some precision machining, the ends get permanently bonded to the front!

Noooooooooo! No going to Texas, we can't allow it!

I wish Jason would move to Texas or at least send a crew down here. I miss my Seattle connections. This is the second tank I have had Jason build for me. The first one is 96 X 28 X 18. I have mentioned him to numerous folks up around Dallas and Fort Worth, but Texans have harder heads than any known substance. CHANGE? Nope, that is a fighting word. LMAO. I live out in the middle of almost nowhere and I have managed to upset (a.k.a. piss off) most of the saltwater people (all 5 of them) by giving them extra critters that don't seem to know that they are crowding themselves out of a home in the mentioned tank. I plan to do a lot of freebies when I take it down to move it to another room. If anyone wants to pay shipping I will send you some critters. Mostly LPS and soft corals. Lots of zoanthids (6 different colors and there are several thousand of them), mushrooms (discos and ricordia...a few hundred total and numerous colors), branching gorgonia, encrusting gorgonia, toadstools ranging from 2" to about 6" in brown, green and yellow (I am keeping the bigger ones) devils hand, kenya tree, and more. Anyone interested in the big tank? I may be willing to sell it cheap. I am getting too old for all the work I do around the farm here. LOL

Wow. Lots of Texas business recently. I love with. Wish I could have gone deeper on my tank but the space didn't allow for it. Like always, looks awesome!
