Who made the tank again?

I bought it from a local hobbyist who bought it from Bow Valley Aquarium in Canada which I believe is now out of business due to too many complaints and unresovled customer issues.

I should have the glass delivered today fellas! The tank is all preped up and ready for the new glass.

Make sure that all the silicone is the same thickness before it cures. Will prevent locking stress in. Need VERY little between the glass layers, perhaps just at the crack and a thin bead at perimeter for balance, perhaps 1 mm thick. It is the silicone between the sides and the bottom that seals the tank.

Use the handles, take it slow. Good luck and have fun...

Alright if you insist on it. I think I can frag part of the rock that it is on:badgrin:. No really that is a nice Blasto. I havn't seen anything around like it. I wish I can spot feed my LPS more so they will grow faster! I can't because of the peppermint and the coral banded shrimp tears into their mouths when I do. I tried to spear the shrimps last night with no success they are fast. Don't worry Adam you and a couple others are on the list for a FREE frag of this once bigger.

 

[Myteemouse]

Oh I was just jokeing but if you insist...
Just let me know if you need a hand brutha.
