It's been a while and things in the tank have changed...I added some more rock, removed some rock, the CUC is entirely dead, upgraded from the AC50 to the AC70 (did a prop swap), moved the heater out of the display into the AC70, the emerald is still alive...and I am going to turn this into a Mantis Reef tank

 

So time for a few shots...like 2 or so...

 

New FTS:

I really like the tank. I am thinking of buying the same one. I was wondering if you've had any problems with it, especially with scratching the acrylic. Thanks.

the only problems I had were the light and the filter and I updated both, no problems w/ scratching b/c the JBJ Picotope is glass not acrylic

So I finally shaved down the AC prop so sand wouldn't blow everywhere. I will be moving some more frags from my AP24 over to the tank tonight...just need to figure out what ones then I will upload some new pics
