Awesome! Jeez, how many skyscraper tanks do you have?

Glad to finally see Mustafa in your picture updates...I can't lie, I was a little disappointed that I hadn't seen him in any of the pix since 1/8...I always keep an eye out for him. And he has a little sidekick buddy...his name Rafiki? lol

Looking good!
 
Haha, you arent far off, mustafa's buddy is razzie! All my tanks are tall: 48", 48", 42", and the short one is only 30". Its a good thing i have long arms:)

Got the skins and canopy done today. I still need to stain it but that will be next weekend's project.

looks good buddy!
 
They have countersunk magnets that line up with the steel stand. Mufasa will show you. Also, the canopy uses concealed/hidden hinges to fold down, the side panels on the canopy are also attached with magnets. The whole setup was about $150 in materials.

Nice! I wish I had used magnets...I used industrial strength velcro and the glue started running...it's a goopy mess. Magnets are definitely the way to go.

Mufasa deserves a treat for helping out...and maybe a little sumthin' for Rafiki.
 
Thanks fellas. The water has been kinda cloudy so I installed a 40 aqua uv sterilizer on it. It is way too confined to snap any good pics. Basically, a quiet one 300 is pumping filtered water from the sump into the uv. the uv exits out of the back of the sump--which is an old 100g seaclear system II tank. I filled the built-in wet/dry with about 15L of pond matrix. It was easier to work around the built in wet dry rather than remove it. Plus, I have a lot more bio!
