Yeah he build my setup a few years back.
I was really satisfied with his work.
really nice guy, good with his words. I think you"ll be really satisfied with your new tank once he's done.
I'm planning to bring him back to build me a 10 x 8 x 2 ray pond/ coffee table, when im not too busy traveling back and forth to asia

Congrats, always great to see another member building his dream set up. And that hole is just a minor inconvenience, nothing a sheet of dry wall can't fix :)

LOL....Europe! Damn!!!...only thing European that she is getting is bags and watches....or she can find herself a rich European man and pay me off! LOL..

My wife doesn't really know how much things cost :p but her friends and customers (She's a hair stylist working out of our house) is educating her telling her all my fish are very very expensive!...damn customers don't know how to mind their own business!....

Lol. When I fix the wall I am doubling the size of her shoe closet and a new pair of shoes of her choice Ouch that's going to hurt.
@Nathan. 10 x 8 x 2 WTF that's crazy. Will this be in Montreal or Vancouver ? Pond/coffee table sounds like a amazing project.

The French bulldog is called Lola and she is the devil
The builder is Aquamarin in Montreal

Cause I saw a really nice hand carved coffee table on my last trip to china, and i was like that would look really nice in my basement and if i redo it to a ray tank it would be sweet.
havent told the wife that i purchase it yet, but she will find out in March when we head to asia LOL.
Yeah Its gonna be in Montreal.

Looking good Amil, I hope I get a chance to see it when it's all set up. The hb is doing good and his scales are slowly growing back. I think he's kinda a lonely though, might need to get another and a bigger tank
