-Very- nice work on the tank and phosban reactor. Tank is 1/2" acrylic, 36x18x18 I'd definitely recommend him to anyone!

Excuse the water spots :blush ... I've been too busy to clean it up for a nice picture but wanted to brag on the acquisition. :D I'll be posting more pictures that really do it justice over the next few days/week as I get it cleaned up, painted, and set up.

Very nice! I got a sump from Ace and LOVE IT! It fits just perfect under my stand. Exactly what I wanted.

Can't wait to see pics of your tank all set up. Sweet!

Sorry, I must sound like an idiot but I must ask.

Who is Ace? I see his work on tanks all over.

Does he own a store? If so which one?

Thanks

If you see something really cool and you don't know where it came from, we say ACE built it....kind of like a fictional character that has majical powers!







JK,,,,, Ace is a local guy that has a really nice setup, does some really nice acrylic and woodwork, and sometimes appears in person

As with most things in life, it's taking longer than planned. :P I have most of the wood for the stand cut to dimension, just need to sand it a bit, screw'n'glue it together, and start staining. Skimmer should finally be coming in the next day or two. I'm thinking T- two weeks realistically. :(
