Beautiful tank!!!!
Wow!!!

moze229 · 10-13-2007, 08:40 PM

I can't wait until I have enough room for a tank that size. Way to go on the sumpless, bare bottom method! What are you ever going to do with all of those mushrooms?

I like how you worked the macro algae into the reef. Colorful tank! Nice job!

boozeman · 10-13-2007, 09:18 PM

beautiful !
how long has it been running?
can you tell me more about reefkeeping in P.R.?

Kazzy · 10-13-2007, 09:42 PM

Wow!!! Beautiful tank! That is one of the best tanks I've ever seen.
