    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I absolutely refuse to comment on such a stunning tank, with to die for clams and corals.

    People might think I was stalking your tank and we would not want that.

    Just to make this a legit post, how long have you had the pipe fish and how is that really nice purple/blue acorpora that looks like mother of pearl doing?

    Thank you for the nice compliments! I have two pipefish in the tank. Both the same species. One for 3 months the other for about 2 weeks. I have been adding a lot to the fish collection. I now have 9 threadfin cardinals, desarjini tang, yellow tang, vlamingi tang, two whipfin fairy wrasses, koi wrasse, christmas wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, exquisite wrasse, and coming soon a male and female japanese swallow tail angels
    The mother of pearl looking acro is doing great, it displays really nice white polyps now

    I love everything about this tank! Great coral selection!

    Are you happy with the flow for the dimensions? Any dead areas?

    Thank you guys! The only dead spot is dead center which is where the detritus collects and makes it really easy to suck out
