chuppy Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Woah. that was fast! as expected from a nano reef forum!! Well, that tank is directed to my otherside.. The Green Thumb. yes.. planted tanks. I have several! The 20g reef is my 1st and ONLY proper running reef tank.. Not thinking of having more.. My previous one was a 10g but it failed miserably due to the lack of knowledge, experience, and proper guidance. Drew Very nice work, my eyes have enjoyed Why thank you!

shrimphombre Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Man I hate to say it but this thread is kinda anticlimactic. Usually it takes about 20+ pages just to get to the water! Link to comment
