Open top also increases gas exchange. Just be sure to have something like eggcrate over the tank if you have any jumpers.

Re: Althea's 90 Gallon.....

Hey! immmm baaaack!!! how is everyone doing?! i had a fantastic vacation! now i have to0 get used to my daily routine again! darn it! i hated to leave! really! i absolutley LOVEDE being in Cozumel! did my first dive! OMG soooo awesome! i am definitly geting PADI certified....here in the near future! it was really cool to see things below that i KNEW! lol....saw some beautiful Queen Triggers, and a HUGE Baracuda! wowsa! about 4 feet long! among many beautiful coral and other species of fish.... unfortunatly because it was my first dive, no camera was allowed bummer! thats ok though, i needed to really learn how to be under there before getting the pictures! LOL

i would have to say, for anyoine who has been to Cozumel, or will be going... Coconuts is my all time favorite place to be.. the view, the atmosphere...the drinks! all FANTASTIC!!!! if you are going to be going there... GO to Coconuts!well, i will get the pics on here soon... have a good one!
