    Per some persistent phone calls, e-mails and comments from you guys here’s how the glassbox looked as of Friday evening… empty. All rock, water and sand was discarded. Plumbing and sump has been dismantled and cleaned. Pretty boring overall, but a nice clean starphire rimless tank never looks bad. 

    Rimless Aquarium Empty

    Thanks to a lot of labor and some great liverock from Premium Aquatics it now looks quite different. Later today we’ll be finishing up some plumbing and adding back the corals–which have subsequently browned out from their banishment to a quarantine tank. Photos to come as things settle in.

      Hi Eric,

      I don´t know how I missed that but I missed it.
      Too bad the two Chaetodon didn´t make it.
      I sure hope these safe measures you took will bring you again some happy days.

      I´m excited to see your new creation, specially the hardscape.

      Good luck!

      André
