    Pretty tank...

    Teach GF to do regular water changes and keep up use of PolyFilters.

    Use with my Nano also (with no skimmer)...

    Good Luck on getting 65 out of basement.



    ;D

    Brilliant tank, mate! Aqua scaping is top notch. A skill I haven't learned yet as mine looks like butt.

    Thanks everyone....didnt think the thread would get half the amount of attention its getting. Its weird about the aquascaping....seems like when i set up a tank for someone else the rockwork is always better then when i do my own tank. Figures. :)

    luvreef its all in the eyes of the "be holder" , you do it cause ya love it.
    It's like art , cept we do it with salt and water rather than paint and brush.

    Long as you and the "gf" enjoy it what matters ' huh ?

    And i think it looks Great !

    Thanks wildreef. Nemo, im using a 100 watt stealth heater, aqua clear 30 with 1/2 unit of chemi pure, polyfilter pads (changed weekly), keep an eye on temp with digital coralife thermometer, periodically check it against a floating thermometer to make sure it isnt malfunctioning. Also use a micro jet 606 for circulation. I have a current satellite system with 40 watts of light. We have 8-10 lbs of live sand, and prolly around 10-15 lbs of live rock. We may add a tunze nano skimmer...not sure yet. Water changes, chemi pure and poly filters are doing a hell of a job.
