the 350 (semi in wall)

[kreidler]

so i was at the lfs and the wife has a thing for the rocks he sells but didnt see anything she liked, sooo the owner says he has more out back she can look at .... lo and behold there are 2 tanks on the ground and he says 1 of em is for sale, i hurridly pull her to the side and say ZOMG i want !!!
After a few minutes of talking to him i get a price and its a flat steal so i run next door to the uhaul shop , rent a truck and im off, now mind you im not one for being able to keep up a full build thread and my wood working skills are subpar by best but i do have a few pics id like to share

i have the 2 seio 2600's on the dc8 for wavemaking

I was aslo able to dedicate 2 20 amp breakers to the tank room and have everthing on gfci's
live stock wise i have a few leathers ,paliys, zoas, 1 rbta , open brain, orange cauliflower, kenya trees, gsp and bsp, cpl of hairy mushrooms, mushrooms, banded shrimp, engineer goby, lawnmower blenny, 3 green cromis, 2 blue damsels, 1 maroon clown , 1 false clown fish

there is still soooo much to do..... more live rock, better lighting setup , route cords more efficiant etc etc but i will get there in time

also what do you mean by semi in wall?

it acually sits in the tank room against the wall not in it because of the tank shape i thought it would look better, because if i actually put it in the wall i would have had to move the door over
