    My 350 has been up for awhile now and I finally got a good camera. The tank is 6x3x3 made of 1" Acrylic. The stand I made myself after looking up plans online and is made of 2x8 top rails and 2 front vertical supports and 2x4s everywhere else. It is FOWLR with Aggressive and passive fish. There is a cat shark (~32"), 2 Horn Sharks (~16" female, ~24" male), an Annularus Angel (~8"), a Saddleback Butterfly (~3"), a Squirrelfish (~4"), a Mexican Blue Puffer (~10"), a yellowbelly dogface puffer (~6"), small blue hippo (~3"), and a scribbled rabbitfish (~5").
    Attached is a photo link, what do you think?

    looks nice but... what's with the sharks? lol thats quite different. not saying there bad; just saying that it's very different from most tanks i've seen. looks good nonetheless

    We started with Suzie (the cat shark) about 2 years ago when she was a pup and kept upgrading. When we got the 350, a guy i know was tearing down his tank with sharks (he made his inground pool into a shark tank) because he was moving and my wife said she wanted the nurse sharks (but they were way too big), and so we settled on just taking the horn sharks.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Beautiful fish. I would figure housing those types of fish algae might be an issue but the tank looks very clean.

    Welcome to 3reef BTW.

    There is not a high level of lighting in that tank (130watt flourescent) so I think that helps too. I lightly wipe the acrylic roughly once every 6 weeks

    greal looking collection of inhabitants IMO - 350 gallons is a great sized tank to work with
