    Its a uniquarium. It has a sticker on it that says clear for life if that means anything.

    Got a couple of updates for everyone. I moved my aquascape around a bit to make a big cave in the back. I like the open look on one side too.

    I also moved by koralia a bit to optimize flow and put some mechanical filtering in the bottom of my fuge to help clear the water. Im going to be getting a bag to run carbon in once in awhile to keep it nice and clear too.

    My macro algea has taken off faster than ever before. I think its grown about half inch in the last week.

    My coral is also starting to look like its gonna take off. Seems theres new polyps every day.

    And thank you for making me get my camera out. Reminded me of a picture I wanted to post. Check this out for a moonlight. The fuge light on the back of the tank is on 24 hours. It shines through the overflow slots and looks just like the moon. Its amazing in person not as great in the pic.
