Happy New Year to you too Julian. How exciting you will soon be back in Fl and the process begins. Of course you and Mary may stop by.

Any updates on the tank? Eagerly waiting for the updates
Well, long story short...The tank and sump arrived three weeks ago and everything looked perfect from the outside. Removed the top of the crate for the tank and there were two cracks in corners in one of the openings (remember that this is an acrylic tank). One of the cracks went clear through the acrylic and started down the front of the tank for about an inch and a half.
The tank is insured so I am waiting for the shipping company to pick it up and the new tank should ship the end of next week. Best guess on the cause of the damage is something heavy was stacked on top of the crate as the "Do Not Stack" cone was missing from the top of the crate. I was bummed.

It is a bummer. Now I'll have to wait longer to see what you do with this thing. Glad to hear it was insured.
Insurance works Will come back soon.
Finally the replacement tank was delivered today and was very pleased to remove the lid off the crate and find everything in good order. The background should arrival tomorrow and I will install it this weekend. Finally moving forward on this.

I can hardly wait. I like your last piece of DW the best, its curlier and creates more individual caves. I may have looked over it but do you plan any other fish besides discus in this Pat??

Universal Rock Ricardo. I am getting two 48x24 backgrounds and cutting to fit. That way I do not need a custom background.

Nice. I'm looking at them to get a background for my 75g as well. I want the really slim line one they have though so that it covers up the overflow I plan to put in place that spans almost the whole tank on the top of the tank.
