Very nice! Are you going to have the canopy for the 90g line up with the top and bottom of the 50g? That would be cool looking too! ;-)

It'll be just like the stands. It will look like one really long canopy. It's just easier to hold off putting up the canopy until I have the rock and sand in there. It's sitting in my garage ready to add light and put up.

Its going to look awesome! ;-)

I like the idea of the 2 tanks next to each other like that.

I got it filled with sand, water, and aquascaped. There are some hermits, a fighting conch, and two brittle stars in there now as well. Unfortunately the canopy isn't a perfect fit as it was for the dry fitting in the garage, there's about a quarter to half inch between the two with a sliver of light coming out. I'll have to figure that out later. The sand was by far the hardest part. It's all black sand too. My old DSB is going in the new fuge whenever I get the 55 cleaned out. My aquascaping is MUCH simpler this time around, but the use of pegging will allow me to add more coral than I could before. It's 3 structures standing apart, with the center one being a tower for the RBTA. I'll add pics of it for my next blog update.

Hey, put a piece of molding in-between the two canopys. Just stain or paint it the same. It will look good I believe. :-)

Hey Mits, did Melev have a article on pegging? What size drill bit you used? ;-). I have some frags to hang and believe thats a cool way o f doing it, makes it stronger too I bet!

He didn't have an article on it, he just linked me to one that he knew of. I use 3/16" rigid airline tubing with a 3/16" masonry bit. A little superglue puts it on the plug nice and securely. The good part is that it can be popped or cut off if the person you trade with doesn't need it.

Thank ya Mits, I think my hermits tend to knock over my frags with just glue to the rock. That seems more secure.
