Im so done with this hobby. I went to plumb the tank today and noticed a huge crack in the back. Didnt see it before because the back is black. I found a small crack on the bottom and it must have spread because of the temperature fluctuation. I don't know what to do except find someone to replace the back panel.

It took months to get this thing rectified. I finally got another brand new tank and this time I went with a glass-holes 3000 overflow. All plumbed Easter weekend and filled. I cycled all the rock in trash cans and then when I got the tank up, I had brief mini cycle. Current stock is some Acros's and Ty Dye Jawbreaker mushroom, a blue raspberry monti and gold torch. Two fish I have are a lare, very nice mimic tang and a deepwater snow bass.

Sweet setup!

Looks fanastic! Sorry for the issues you've run into, seems like everyone runs into some sort of problem with a new build. This hobby is a measure in patience.

I, too, am sorry about the struggles...how frustrating! I love your rockscape and Mimic Tang!

 

[Breakthecycle2]

Thanks! Ill try to snap a pic of the snowbass. I only have one if him ini the QT.

Dang what bad luck! Lol glad everything is coming together! I'm not a salty person *yet* but I love the stand and this tank looks like it will be a masterpiece.

Congrats! I can't wait to see the pictures!

 

[Breakthecycle2]

Got him in, he's wrapped in his cocoon. Will try to take pics tomorrow. Next up is my golden pygmy angel (a carryover from my previous tank that my LFS was holding for me) and a red headed jawfish.

Woohooo, congratulations! I am looking forward to seeing your pictures of the little guy.

Sounds like you have some fun future fish planned too!

Cool, I love Wrasses. I have had these in past tanks: Sixline, McCosker's Flasher, and a Linespot Flasher.
There is such a wide variety of them, and they are usually very colorful too, that's why I enjoy them.

 

[Breakthecycle2]

I love wrasses.
