Thanks muttley, I am going out to get a new macro lens for my camera so you should be able to help me answer your own question.

Enough fanfare... let's see some pics, "warts & all" We're anxious to see how you modified the Mars Bars from their former "stock Walmart" configuration.

I may have missed it, but was there a master plan for the use of these fish room tanks, or are they just utilitarian?

[nUgZ]

What an amazing setup so far...I can't wait to see it in a year or two!!

[KumiClaws]

Amazing tank... truly an inspiration for the neurotic mania that is reefkeeping....
I find myself getting sucked in like quicksand...... and green with envy!

Mr Wilson I will grant your request for pics but the Mars Bar chapter will have to wait..........

I grabbed a random rock from the tank to try out my new macro lens in poor light. I obviously need more practice but these shots of the same rock suggest that I have managed to keep it alive without too much damage after eight days. I am very surprised that some of the sponges have survived.

KumiClaws, we can't do anything about the envy but have you considered Miracle Mud instead of quicksand?????? Thanks for the praise and welcome to our salty community.

I've had lr cooking in a dark barrel for months and once exposed to light zoas started popping up. Some of the life on these rocks are indestructible.
