im thinkin' that this pico could use some moar rock....

Sweeeeet... I like the look much better with that new bulb. It really helps to bring out some nice colors.

sure does....its a decent investment, id say.

Great job! The scale is great

thanxmuch! i was very much thinking cube with this one....

Your bulb helped a ton! Thumbs up!

That acro is sick! I loe tables and that green color is just gourgeous, send me a frag kthnxbye!

Anyway the bulbs are a huge improvement and all of your zoas look awesome.

Two things, first I find your aquascaping facinating and second your clown's name cracks me up. I would comment on how many shrooms you have but I find myself with about 10-12 lol. Very nice setup!

Everything is looking great! Very nice choices and arrangement. Am wondering if you have tried a black background, plastic stuff available at LFS. Seem it would really help to have the tank color stand out.

+1

I have the dark blue background and mine looks better.

can you believe that the Acro was only $10!!! and been keepin my param's in check real well, so the zoa's are lookin' amazing!



Thanks a mucho! it was a tough decision to rescape, but the outcome was aweshome



thank you. i take great pride in this tank, as its the only one that ive done correctly so far! its amazing what happens when you follow the rules...

and yes, all of my previous reef tanks have had black BG's...i wanted this tank to be veiwable from both sides. (the tank is in a cut-out in the wall.) Im trying to find a suitable size cube tank atm. as soon as i find the right size at the right price, im upgrading to a cube....(i want a 14", all sides viewable cube.)

thanks

HELLA new pics!!!!!!!

i cant believe how healthy this tank has been! and all w/ routine WC's and patience, amazing.....

last time we started with the Acro....this time well start w/ the zoa's.
