Awesome Ernie!!!! I could only look at a couple front pics as it took about 5 minutes for me to download each pic. (we don't have high speed here) but from what I saw...wow!! would love to see the fish closer. Which ones are those?

That is a nice tank. The colors of the hippo tang are true to life. What camera are you using?

What type or maybe I should say shape PVC frame do you have? I am going to add a DSB to my 37 gallon tank next month and was wondering if a tank of that size needed any supports for the LR.

I remember when you were first setting that tank up Ernie! Sure is full of life now!

Very nice.

Having been priviledged to see Ernie's tank in person, I can say that it is an awesome tank! Not only the corals and fish are great but the plumbing and mechanical systems are first-rate.
Nice, Ernie!

Ernie, are you going to tell me which one's are the pics of the fish? I want to see them, but like I said it takes about 5 min. to load each pic. Thanks Lynn

I will resize the pictures for faster download soon (I am out of town right now, so I can't do it from here). Sorry about the long DL times.

I used a Kodak DC290 (2.1 megapixels) to shoot the tank.

I used a PVC frame, and highly recommend it. See this link:
