Nice looking reef tank....shame about the losses....but, what happened with the dead fish? seems extreme....lol
been 2 years
so its been some time so i figured id post some pictures again. i had a tank crash about 6 months ago because i just didnt dedicate the time to my tank i needed to and well was broke. but 6 months later its looking ok again and all my fish made it through the crash. so i recentally spent my tax return on getting mostly new supplies but also on some new coral additions to fill in the may empty spots. sorry bout the pic quality(phone). and here are my current specs.
