Are you talking about the magnetic frag rack? Or the material we are using to give the back panel a frosted look. If the latter, it's something I picked up at Wal-Mart. I originally used it as a light defuser for our LED fixture. Since we drilled the tank as a peninsula style tank and the original idea for placement of the tank in our new place didn't work out. We didn't want to stare at the bare wall behind the tank. It'll look really cool with defused light from a ascent led set. We'll be able to change the color of the backdrop at a wim. Just a idea my son had. We'll see how it works out.Sorry to hear about your troubles, hoping for a better new year for you and your family
The tank looks great. What do you have fixed to the back wall?
I think it's the frag rack, makes it look like part of your scape set-up. Really nice layout. Are you looking to add any particular types of corals. Yeah the back wall looks good, I thought it was painted or up against something unique, couldn't really tell.Are you talking about the magnetic frag rack?

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Love the scape on that new build!Stumbled across this thread. Couldn't of happened at a better time. This past year couldn't of been any worse. " Not because of Covid " Honestly that was a simple speed bump in life for us. Last Nov I had a accident that I fell two stories flat on my back fracturing my spine. Doing something our landlord should of been responsible for. Our landlord cut off all communications with us refused to take rent and then evicted us for non payment. In a scramble we had to find someone that was willing to take our reef. Thankfully Waz graciously stepped up. Unfortunately that power outage over the summer really effected the livestock with devastating blow. So if you're not all aware he could use support from the community. Anyways it's been a year and my family and I finally got into our own place the beginning of Dec. My son and a I have setup a New build. It's only A 40 breeder and custom sump. Finished everything up New Year's Eve and Day. We are starting completely over from scratch. I really hope we get back to having meetings in person. I'm not even sure if this old Amazon fire tablet can even do Skype It is nice to see so many really wanting to hold the community together.

Thank you for the compliment. This is a downsize for us. A foot shorter in length and four inches in hight. Plans are to have a few LPS and clams on the sand bed and on that little separate island. The main Aquascape will be SPS dominant. I'm a short person having to stand/balance on a latter and be shoulder deep in water to work in the tank just isn't appealing to me anymore. Due to my disability this is a much safer and easier setup. I can reach right in without problem. We would like to start off with a few zoas just to get some colour in there. The nitrogen cycle is complete so we'll be removing The yellow tail damsels and get two small utilitarian fish. All the rock is mature rock and we used live sand. The cycle was nice and fast. The water is testing 0 for Ammonia and Nitrite and 5 for Nitrate.I think it's the frag rack, makes it look like part of your scape set-up. Really nice layout.

In theory everyone on this thread is CTARS. It's a club of people interested in reefing that get together in person (prior to covid) or on forums like this to talk about reef stuff. In theory, since this is part of the CTARS forum, everyone joining in this conversation is CTARS, we are CTARS.I’m confused who are cstars and why are they in the thread ?

Can someone provide payment information for membership dues? I used to pay through the link on the CTARS website but the site no longer exists.
