    i have a little more progress to report  i just finished the conopy on the aggressive tank   the drop ceiling will attach directly to the canopy giving the tank a illusion of being built into the wall I hope i also still need to run a peice on the front right and back left to cover up the edges and the 2x4 but i cant do that untill the counter top is on

    I have made a little bit more progress. I had my countertop installed. Built 2 18" makers led kits with 24 LEDs each to go over the frag tank part of my sump (I will be building one more for it soon) also upgraded my sulfur denitrator to 44" tall. built a light bar for my new frag tank bud is building me (he's almost done with it) I will be hanging a 36" 48 led makers led kit over it as soon as I get it built. I also added a 5th AI over my aggressive tank. Oh and my magnificent anemone I got from char just split and both are doing great from my understanding this is fairly rare for them to split. I will be posting pictures as soon as I get a few extra minutes
