Me too Witful. I just need some corals. As for nano's sized tanks ,I use two for overflows! So who has innovative ideas on how to use all the empty salt mix buckets. I use mine to hold all the pvc fitting I have left over !

Re: The 200+ Club

For all of you that do NOT have a 200+tank, be thankful... sometimes if ya don't keep things up (like go on vacation for a week or two and someone else takes care of it) and you end up with an algae outbreak (hair) it takes a long long time to get it all back....... yes I am still working on it after a two week vacation 4 months ago..... I have done 6 40 gallon water changes over the last 4 months, just to give you an idea....

I use the pond in my back yard for my top off system, does that count? I don't know how deep it is. Sorry... I needed a laugh...
