i don't mind cleaning it and not worried about getting it dirty. current plans don't have it hidden under a cabinet, so i'm going to see it and would prefer to start with it clean anyway. that said, i will need a place to stash it for a while and i'm all out of room in the garage at the moment.

never owned an acrylic tank or sump. how well will this clean up? and what will i need to do it? i do have the novus acrylic polishes. don't mind putting in the work to get it looking nice, but no experience in knowing what it might take.

just curious, are you running moonshiners, or just mentioning them for the focus on traces? i'm working on a list for you from what you have available and where i'm at with my build and making space. i'll also be better of if i ask for your advice on what i've had success with and haven't had...

i'm not in texas, but i have some experience with a steve's leds retrofit into a red sea max 250. that was an all in one with a hood and i had purchased the tank second hand with the kit already installed. later on, i ended up upgrading the led banks and controller when i needed to do some...

totally agree. they seem to grow slow and don't do much ovious immediate damage. but they can slowly reach plague proportions and if they get growing in the rock crevices, good luck getting rid of them.

if you don't have a skimmer, are you running a filter sock, floss of filter pad? in my experience, you want something to help remove the resulting flocculated detritus.

and some sights a few steps away from the aquarium.

of course, i had to take some pics of the lighting on my favorite display, the large sps patch reef, which of course was ginormous metal halides pendants. also, apologies to the softie lovers, i didn't tank any pics of the softies only tanks, but most displays were mixed to one degree or...

can anyone id the middle mint green coral? i'm thinking hydnophora but i've never kept it.

mrs. ole farney is from france, and all of her family remain there, so we try to visit once a year. this year we hit the public aquarium in la rochelle, so i thought i'd share some pics. it somewhere on the small to medium size, if you consider the camden aquarium or national aquarium in...
