Come on Doug, you know my motto "there's always room for more" :mrgreen:

its not really hard to get em good when the right buttons are pushed......more a matter of just being "steady".....

I know but Im just concerned that that box may burst:surprise:.......maybe you need to stretch it out to say 30x30x24:wink:

An upgrade would be nice, having the money to do it with would be even nicer :neutral: *sigh*

Hey sweet looking tank Laurie! Gonna look great in 6 months when everything colors up and you have a growth explosion! The first year of a tank's life drives me nuts...hurry up and mature already! :p

The tank looks awesome Laurie! cant wait to see it
when its completely full in a couple months:lol:
looks like its going fantastic and nice set up!

Yup. It's no wonder some beginners pack it in after 3 or 4 months, (one algae infestation after another!) It is especially tough on those with large tanks; dealing with algae in smaller tanks is a little easier. I have seen a few new tanks that got through the break-in fairly easily, but they are the exception.

Thanks everyone. I agree it's going to look cool when everything starts to grow out, however when it does start to grow it won't take long until before they start to touch one another :neutral:

how are the corals doing

thanks again Laurie for letting me put my sticks(frags) in your box for a while....

You should go and see it Taylor......its a very nice little box.....just saw it in person myself.....not sure if you will get the exclusive access that I got but:wink:.....

So I took a few pics of Lauries box(s) while I was there.....started off innocently enough .....just through the glass....... but then things got a little more serious and Laurie let me get wet and go wrist deep:surprise:......it was a bit of a tight squeeze......wee box......two relatively large hands and a camera:mrgreen:
