Lets See Your Low-Tech, High Biology Tanks and Your High Tech Tanks

[Aurora D.]

I thought it might be fun to see the contrast in between the two different styles of reef-keeping, and see some nice tanks that have been achieved in very different ways with both high tech tanks, and simpler tanks that rely a little more on biology and less on technology. So, lets see those tanks!!!!:bounce3: :bounce1: :bounce2:
