:o wow what a tank!

me and my wife had dinner at Caparellies last night and the new tank that they had made is up and running!

they had two reef tanks before but there was a fire and they had to get rid of them.

the new tank is an oceanic 540g that will be a reef tank eventually, but right now it has about 400lbs live rock with a bunch of cool tangs, clowns damsells and such.

it will neat to see this tank grow!

oh and dan great job on that huge wet/dry

How the hell big is the place? The one by my house is a nice quaint little resteraunt set out in the country. Probably no bigger than 30 feet by 20 feet dining area.

the closest intersection is bitters and huebner...but if you are coming from austin from I35, exit loop 1604 west, stay on 1604 until you come to bitters ( this will be two exits past 281 ) take a left on bitters and follow around through one stop sign and then you will reach heubner...it is in a strip center on the left at the corner
