    That's such a cool tank. I first saw the original in Paletta's book "Ultimate Marine Aquariums". If my power bill was that high I would have cops looking for my grow op.

    Yeah, Steve's tank is awesome. I can't imagine how much he spends on that tank. He doesn't want the problems associated with long term sand bed use so he replaces it every 3 months. Think about how much that costs over time. Yikes!!!

    Also, check out that huge eucnid (spelling???) worm that he caught.

    Am I the only one who'd want to be able to view it from more than the one angle? :)

    One of my all time favorites... this pic (or an older version) was my desktop for a while:

    I can't believe he replaces the sand 4 times a year! Does he use some kind of pool vacuum for that? :dizzy2:

    No you aren't! :)
