OVERVIEW

This tank was started Jan 2006. Over the course of the past few years things have constantly changed and will no doubt change further.  I consider this to be an ongoing project much like gardening……constantly changing and evolving.  Tank contains 125lbs of Marshall Island live rock and a 6 inch deep sand bed.

OVERVIEW

This tank was set up as a quarantine in a 10 moved into a 20high and then into the 29g bowfront.  It is in my bedroom and provides a nightlight and ambient sound to lull me to sleep.  It is amazing how fast one comes awake when the absence of sound or an odd sound jolts you awake.  This tank has evolved also as a place to put cast offs from the main tank.
