    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You have some really beautiful pieces. I like your set up, it's all about the coral.

    I've had various tanks over the years, glass and acrylic, different sizes, etc. I met a friend of mine about five years ago and he had 300g Rubbermaid stock tanks. The no glass to care for, no bs approach appealed to me. So, this I what I have now.

    it does seem rather appealing. my father once had a small pool liner that was cemented down in the basement. that was easily a 5 or 6 thousand gallons. but we had quite a good reef in there. at the time i was only 5 or 6 years of age. it was so huge we would snorkel in it.

    Thanks again for all the kind words, guys and gals.

    As for the electric, a friend of min and I did that in an afternoon, so I can't take all the credit for it. Needless to say, our fingers hurt when we were finished.

    I have the regular green/orange cyphastrea... I wish I had that one, though!

    That's insanely awesome that you keep two tubs!
