Awesome stuff man. Nothing better than when a plan comes together, especially using spare items from around the house. Motown engineering at its best!!

I went a little crazy at the stores in the big D! I bought 6 new fish(all over 4"), 2 starfish, 3 large sps, a sea apple, a nice orange gorgonian, a really cool piece of lps that is built like a monti but isn't a monti (gonna need help with an ID), an elegance that is about 6" around, a flower pot coral, a polyp colony, one of the brightest aussie torches I've ever seen, and an aussie hammer that is orange with green tips. I will try and get up some pics soon but after acclimating and placing all these into the display I'm ready for bed!
Sounds sweet! cant wait to see tomorows update!
Dang thats a shopping spree!
You sure got a sweet setup there. I wish I could wait to do all the thing like you did. Heck I wish I was that handy with electrical work. Keep the great pics coming.
Here is some pics of the new goodies! I wish I was better with a camera like most of ya'll cause these pics of the coral don't do them any justice! Neptune's Cove in Dallas is where the majority came from. The place is amazing and the owner treated us like long lost cousins, he spent a good hour after I told him what I was looking for showing me some of the choice pieces and believe me you need a tour guide in this place! They also have an online store so maybe we could get 'em to sponsor CR?
On to the PICS!

Awsome shopping spree there!!
uhhhh, on page three?
LOL, Chorts lost with out chat!!
Killer stuff Shawn. You picked up some sweet pieces man.
I am no where near a good photographer, but a few tips that help me you could try would be to kill all flow, clean glass, and figure out your WB. From there photobucket allows you some pretty cool editing features for free you could play with. Just remember to always save a copy not replace original.
