I don't know if this will work, but let's see


your tank looks very nice. If you ever get any larger or closer shots, let us know.

I did it ... a few phot s are in my gallery ...

If you need any further information, let me know ... The Tunze Streamer is one of the most common in french reefkeeping, do you have it also in the US ?

Mine is a 6000 liters/hour (the cheapest one in Europe ; 100 euros, i.e. around 130 dollars ...)
