Love the theses lights, got them new at coral and fins in tampa, great local shop.

I was just about to ask what part of Florida you were located (and no, I didn't know because of the Mickey towel - there is another clue buried in your thread). I might have to grab a six pack of Miller Light (noticed that is your choice in one of your pictures) and come see this one in person!!!

Just curious, I think this are kessil lights you are using? Are they the 360's and what are you using to hang them?

Wow. Just wow.

Did you have to do this to me? Now I have to dig through the thread again and find the clue! :confused:

This looks cool!

I would build a rock structure in the middle to elevate the Jesus Christ statue up higher than the sides. Not all the way to the top but just higher!
In the open water he sits on a pedestal. I've dove and seen it here in Florida. Sits on a sand bed and sea grass and some rock coves. So that's what I'd do so throw some GSP in here and some corals on he rock mounds and it'll look ace. I'd either make my own or chisel that ropes side off idk if it's solid or hollow but the skinnier the legs the better it looks when encrusted. I like

Drafting the base to elevate the tank. The tank will be the garage enclosed in the new fish room and viewed in the dining room area.
