Nice first year. I think the bottle is a bit of a visual negative.

It very much was unappealing, I was trying to create a safe place for my Blenny.It didn't work so I took them out.

I think you're heading in the right direction. Good to get a background on the and hide some of that equipment. It was looking a bit like a hardware store. Good luck.

I have a black background now because of what you were saying.It looked like a hardware store.My helper usually is pretty lousy, he usually just waits for me to get done and feed him...Ill walk in the room somedays and he will be there staring at the fish, and licking the glass.He thinks he is cleaning it.

My main reason for posting my reef up here is because I will be tearing it down next weekend.....so this is sort of a farewell to the 26g...











And hello to the 115g reef!I will be transferring everything, and adding more and more!!!

It was a 7 dollar sump, its got to be the cheapest thing in the cabinet lol.Plus it was the only thing that would fit in that small cabinet.

The Sump on the 115 will be a little bit more professional
