    Thanks Ed. I put what I have left in the SPS tank.(not much) I will be down you're way to restock my new 110gal softie tank after it's setup next week. I bought 2 blue dot sea hairs and a lettuce nudi Fri. Can't find them in there now. Maybe the Racoon ate them too.

    Mat(panman). I had to build it that strong since the opening in the front is over 5 feet. I made (Routed) all the moulding myself including the dental. The only thing I bought was part of the 4 step crown.
