Wow Robert that’s big project and an amazing job at it so far. Making my back hurt looking at the before and after pics.

I just hope this doesn’t divert attention from the saltwater/reef focus and expertise your team have, seems like something to watch out for.

I agree I like the look of the roof-mounted lights. Also should help resolve the issue of way too much light at the top vs not enough at the bottom of the tank issue we usually have. On the con side, also will have less light reflecting deeper from the glass.

Nah…if anything, one of my biggest reasons in this project is to expand my saltwater/reef side of the shop. However, in order to do that I need to expand the FW side first so it’s going to be a win-win for both my FW and SW customers! I know right now the SW has been somewhat been put on cruise control but that should be only til end of May. I’ll put full focus on that side of thing again when the expansion is done. You’ll see. I’ve been working out so I’m hella motivated!

Cheers

The cascading feature looks like a cool effect, looking forward to seeing it

I went in today and saw it in person and it looks great! Can’t wait to see what it looks like with live stock

At airport so this is a good way to kill some time. Here are some updated pictures of the current progress of the shop. It’s pretty much 95% complete at this point.

It looks amazing @robert4025 ! I can't wait to see it in person. From dream to reality! Inspiring to see it in action at our local level.

It looks even better in person. Hey @robert4025 are you guys open today?

Amazing to see how far it’s come since Houret Ct! Found some gift cards from ~12 years ago so will have to make my way down there one of these days!

New freshwater display going up. Not sure what kind of plants to use for the top though…lol

Air plants on the branches?

Epiphytic orchids!

Some high end scindapsus would look great as well. Could easily hide a small root cup in that tank and let it slowly grow and mix with orchids and other epiphytes.
