    Thanks. It is made by the same company that makes that telescoping ladder (which is cool in its own right), but for some reason you can't get the platform in the US. I ordered this from England.

    Beautiful tank! I'm dying to know whether you've experienced any problems with your tangs living together?

    I haven't. I've always found that if you have a big enough tank and add them at the same time that I just don't have any serious issues. There have been occasional scuffles, but all have been minor, lasting just seconds at most.

    You have a remote sump. Do you use miracle mud in it? and do you run your skimmer all the time or part time? I was thinking of adding miracle mud to my refugium.

    What a beautiful tank and set-up! I really like the 5x5 shape and the light structure is ridiculous! Well Done!

    I don't run miracle mud and I run my skimmer 24x7. I had a fuge on my previous system, but haven't put one in on this one yet.
