Well done!! Nice macro shots. I need to practice more with my camera. I have the knife pics down just fine, tank shots are still a problem.

I have a brand new MH light for my 18 sitting right here. I got it two weeks ago and haven't had time to work on my stuff yet. I'll be picking up a bunch of new corals this weekend so I'll have to get my light up and running ASAP.

Wow! You sure made good use of all 10 gallons! Looks great!

Thanks for the compliments.It took 2 1/2 years of ups and downs to get this far.I cant wait until everything grows out nice. Knifemaker cant wait to see your tank shots
Off topic, but I have been looking for a knife by fury that curves inward instead of being a straight blade and the blade is only about 3 inches.Know of where I can find one by chance?

That certainly is inspiring!
Sorry Im not familier with brandnames as Im from the UK. Is the auquclear a filter? if so what media do you have in there? other than that are they just powerheads with weekly water changes?
How much live rock do you have in there?
And finally now you have it running how are you finding it to maintain?
