YEs, you are right. they are softer than normal glass so have to be careful

Must have been a busy sunday bro. Any updates for us?

[ReDDeviLs]

the glass pic is real tough to see.

almost cant see much frm it but its ok. nothing beats viewing through a glass/plastic etc.

btw,low iron glass looks like the pic u posted that states starphire. LOL!

the bigger difference is tat starphire gets smashed/cracked easier than normal glass.

Coo....can't wait for the scape to go in. Agree, a minimalist look for shallow reef is much better IMO.

My zoas I got some good deals as a local reefer order a whole container full and as it could not fit in his tank, I took some into my tank and been there ever since lol....

[zorden]

maybe i shld order a container of zoos then. wait a min.. do u meant a shipment container?

order a 20ft then 1 week also cannot finish picking out the zoas , but i do wonder how he ordered a container , and how big of a load is that

[comycus]

you sure it's a twenty footer?

Maybe it's forty footer?

lol but shipment container shouldn't be tt big right? Just guessing...

[ReDDeviLs]

i only heard of a local reefer ordering sps in container. now zoas too.

[zorden]

but what going to be the condition of the zoas. imagine by sea taking months to reach here. well maybe the container got some temp control measures but i remember an article where lots of fishes dead at the russian customs. don want this to happen to my precious coral

If I were rich, I would air freight in a pallet of corals

Anyway it won't take months to reach la... especially indo/phillipines shipment kind. Shipping nowadays also v. efficient. Get a 'reefer' to tpt your corals also can.

so u got yr contractor to use a more secured way to hang yr ATI? keep the contact incase i need in future...hehe.

Here the pic of my hanging mechanism. I have to say its ugly. well definitely wont recommend u guys to do it. But i don expect my carpenter to build me a heavy canopy. Really cant find a good reason for him to build me a thick canopy. Yes there is not 2 but 4 of this. Damn ugly but at least its those heavy duty wall plug. Well i am thinking of finding ways, maybe adding a wooden facade to cover this 4 plugs.

Here the picture of the metal cable with plastic covering to deter rust and i use 2 metal clamp instead of one.

A close up pic. Ofcoz i can increase the height of the canopy by either releasing the metal cable or by turning the what ever thingy u see here

And finally a picture of the interior of my canopy. Well ofcoz i will have room for my ballast and i am going to cut quite a few opening at the canopy cover and install those colorful LED computer fans i can grab at sim lim. so when the ATI is on, the LED fan is on to provide additional ventilation. OFcoz this is really extra.

colorful led fans
