    My Reef tank has been set up for a little over 18 months, and there have been some huge changes. Let me know what you think. I am also working on a new tank stand with more room for storage. Lots of pics to follow.

    My New Tank Stand Build

    New Stand will be stronger, deeper for more storage and taller for more working space underneath and for my skimmer.

    Looks good, only one real question. Does the hammer ever bother (sting) the bubble next to it?

    The hammer and bubble have been close like that for a whole and don't seem to bother each other. I have not noticed sweeper tentacles from either at all.
