    Started my first saltwater tank back in October, still much to learn! If i could go back I definately would have started with a larger more manageable tank, but this will do for now! Anyways thought i'd post a few pics;D

    Always wondered how a hex tank would work/look and I have to say this is very cool. Good job!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I really like your tank. You make a hex look very very good.

    Congrats on the new acropora. The Dotty Back looks good in there, adds a ton of color.

    Yeah i've learned to love the little bastard, even after it killed my six line :cry: He really is a cool little fish, I just have to live with the fact that i probably wont be able to add anything else hah (until the new tank that is!)

    Thanks for all the comments ! It means a lot after I was discouraged by a handful of people about making a hex reef tank work
