We installed our Miracles tank almost 7 years ago. It's been great since the day we put it in the wall. Derek was outstanding to work with. I would definitely use them again.
Smaller than yours, but a great piece. |

Dougchambers-Beutiful tank!
I wanted to go shallow so it was easier to reach into the bottom, and since it was shallow, was able to go rimless. But, taller tanks definately have more aquascaping options. Trouble is, I like them all.

Unfortunately, we are in the middle of a major rebuild. Lost all the corals to algae. Shallow sand bed has no life in it so we've pulled all the rock and are in the process of reworking the sand bed and doing about 30 gal/week water changes trying to get things back under control so we can restock. Fish are fat and happy, but nothing else... Good luck! |
