Sir patricks work in progress-

Hey Chuck,
Great idea, but I'd need it up top. I like that thought, though. Just how can I cage the ph so there's not so much pull at the grill? I found my mandarin stuck to it two days ago. I had to shut it off so he could float down to the LR. I thought he was dying, but he's fine. Just a lousy swimmer.

My nem was hanging around, and even touching the vents on the head for days.

Mine wasnt pulled in, it wanted in......and managed to get in al the way, surely getting clobberd by the prop the entire way.

I found it, prop stopped, just a chunk of foot, inside the powerhead enclosure. After it entered itself completely, its stem caught the prop and stopped its momentum and siezed it.

Its either suicidal, or likes the reverse flow more than its life.....

Thanks Chris for the frags. The Trumpet coral is doing great and the others are opening right up. I had to rush to get them in the tank as I got a call to take lunch to some guys working with my husband. I didn't have time to take pics and was gone most of the day. I will update later when I am sure of where I will keep them in the tank. That blue mushroom puffed right out. Very vivid. My husband loved it.

[Sir Patrick]

Enjoy them all Vikki.

If you ever need more, you know where to find them.

Glad you and your husband like them.

Fish doctors of Canton had a couple of those fake rocks in stock.

Thanks Pat! I'll give 'em a holler and see if they can be suspended or aimed upward. I have a problem keeping my sand in place.

My concern is not with warping but with access and ease of use. It looks like you won't have access to the sump and DT at the same time. I store all of my tools, food and dosing stuff in the stand so I usually need access to both. I don't know if that will be possible with this style of door.

Just ran across this old thread @Tom@HaslettMI , believe it or not, there was some warping, but minimal- still using it easily today- both stand and canopy
