Re: Witty's Monster 210 Experiment

Everytime I see this tank I'm amazed!
Are you planning on breaking up those cinderblocks once they are completely encrusted in coraline...maybee simulate a coral rubble bottom?

Re: Witty's Monster 210 Experiment

Dave... take note of your shrooms when you switch to all 10k's. Mine used to open up great under the XM 15k's but do not with my 10k's. I would be interested to know if yours react the same...

Re: Witty's Monster 210 Experiment

Very nice Dave!
I love the color in your tank and I really like the Xenia on the overflow! Reminds me of Doni's when hers covered the bulk of the back glass.
