| NaClH2O Addicted   | Re: Full Tank RSM Photos~ doubleduece - very nice tank and setup! Thanks for posting a picture! Witfull - I've lost more corals than fish, so I'm not sure I can agree with that (due to aggression, wrong conditions, etc.). So far (knock on wood) my fish success is very very good, not always the case with corals.

| NaClH2O Addicted | Re: Full Tank RSM Photos~ Witfull - I've only really lost one fish, my year old lawnmower blenny (RIP - possible starvation). Never did find the body, but it didn't result in the loss of any other fish. I guess you mean loss due to ich or other disease/parasites?

| Rabid Wolverine Reefer | Re: Full Tank RSM Photos~ Yeah,,,usually,,,its poor/no QT that results in massive die outs. corals are a diff critter.....they kill or die depending on the conditions. but fish,,,,one bad fish can wipe out a tank.....ive seen horror storys,,,,,,10k's of losses cause of one "oh. it looks fine" fish.

| NaClH2O Addicted | Re: Full Tank RSM Photos~ How about an Easter Island look - little faces with big noses could be carved in each rock? But, that might look more like Mount Rushmore, unless you carve the rock into pillars.

| Rabid Wolverine Reefer | Re: Full Tank RSM Photos~ i saw one tank that was done in Roman Ruins......that was so cool. he had a thin wall of rock from top to bottom in the back, with the Roman ruins in front.....looked like Vesuvius just swallowed Pompeii.
