Those stainless steel lid holders are nice. Would you mind sharing where you got them and do they come in larger sizes?

Lid holders came. Made of stainless;

Since its 46"+ long, the middle part warped a bit, but it'll serve its purpose.

Nice setup, what brand tank is that?
Thanks! Its custom, fish store in Vegas ordered it for me.

Really liking this build, and I'm also in Utah. Looking forward to more.
Thanks! where are you?

Awesome build so far. Bring on the wrasses!
Thanks! Working on the wrasses, thinking McCosker's.

I got them off eBay. They had different sizes. Search "aquarium lid holder," you'll get results. Mine came from oversea.

Hey I'm In Utah too
Where are you at?!

In south, Cedar city. Any good LFS up north??


Nice! I might take my family there soon! Any LFS you go to??

Thank you, everything's full now took a while to get everything finished but it's a good time to go. Personally I don't visit many anymore, with my propagation systems and line of work I tend to order boxes in from the farms, mostly maricultured and aquacultured I avoid wild. There's some great LFS up north though. Only one with good people in Orem but I like them a lot, Reef Oasis. I've known them since i was a kid (I started at 10) They care about people they work with. Anyway sorry to kind of hijack your thread with where we all are!

They really are, they're tanks are amazing. Unfortunately I don't see great acro frags or other higher end stuff there as much as I used to. If you ask though they will probably take you in the back and have more stuff back there. I know they have access to near anything they want but I think they stock what sells best.

It was my day off, managed to head out to a city; Las Vegas. Checked out two LFS (Aquatic Treasures and Blue Reef Aquatics) and stopped by at a fellow reefer's. It was well worth the trip and I will do it all over again anytime.

Got an Exquisite Fairy Wrasse, two cleaner shrimps, RBTA (not so rosie at the moment), Red Dragon Acro, Pink Lemonade and Ice Stag. Productive day.

So thin but it looks like its got potential, no? (Excuse the not-so-clear image..)

Last but not least, Ice Stag;

Its brown except the growing tips, see what happens in my tank!
