Zippys tank

Well my Red planet was forming a shelf and shading my other sps pretty bad. I went to trim a little back and the main stalk broke. It's a bummer cause it was a really cool for in the tank. Oh well, live and learn.Had to frag it to fit it in the spot you see. Cut off 8 decent pieces and it didn't make a dent in it.

lol the mother colony didn't even looked like it got touched! haha

trimming is such a pita sometimes, you think you have the perfect cut and then bam.. it's like shattering glass. haha
 
That second pic has left me wanting more. Let's see some more Pete. You just don't take enough pics of that tank.

I'll try tomorrow. I got the 5am morning shift with my 1 1/2 yr old. Besides one of these frags has ur name on it!

Thank you Pete. I know you've been holding that for a while. And for good reason. I can home yesterday to 3 completely 3 more dead acro frags. Skin just flapping off if them. Every time I touch one or move it for some reason a few days later it gone.
 
Well it's been an interesting day. My 1.5 yr old face planted against the chair and ripped her upper gums pretty good, may have chipped upper first incisor that just started. Lots of blood which of course freaks my wife out to no end, but stops pretty quick. Little Eva acts fine through out the day and to top it off as I'm putting a log in the wood stove I hear her smack her lips and go ahhhhh! To my shock/dismay she has gotten on an adult chair and reached to the center of the table to get my glass of bourbon and taken a sip!!! Then she has the nerve to look me in the eye and smile the biggest grin I've seen on her. What can I do,but shake my head and remember to get a few more selfies before I loose all my hair. Sigh.

On a positive note I got my new 120 in the house and on its stand that I built. The canopy is quite high but it allows me to top view easily and reach all tank spots with no trouble. My beverage rest in the front will have to be abandoned due to my daughters taste for fine spirits at an early age. Lol. The open shot has a 40 breeder below that will be for the return pump and grow out frags from above. The last shot is the tank (29 gal) on the opposit wall I the bathroom closet which will house skimmer, macro algae, dosers. For those who ask go back to my drawing earlier in this thread I will drain from the DT through the wall to the closet tank. I will dril a bulkhead from the closet tank through the wall again to the 40 breeder under the DT. From the 40 breeder I will have a return pump straight up to the DT.

Great job on the stand and canopy Pete. Things seem to be coming together nicely. Keep up the good work
 
Great job Pete. Nice to things progressing.

That must have been some good bourbon for her to like it. My son got to my glass of JW Blue one day and couldn't spit it out fast enough.

Yup, the girls got good taste. It was a limited edition woodford triple oak from 3 years prior. At least the wife didn't kill me, after all the face plant on the chair was on her watch. Hehe.

Thanks, hope it finishes well but I'm liking the size and depth already.

Looking good! 120 is a great tank, can't wait to see it filled. I will get over there one day to see it in person!

Scotch was the go too for teething in my family. So maybe it made her gums feel good.
Congrats on the tank build so far.

Thanks, I'm getting there...albeit slowly. With the bourbon,I'm surprised she did not spit it out though. Has my wife thinking she's gonna be a problem one.
