I think if it was the poor mans version the TV would be a lot smaller.

Dude, I think you might be overstocked. Well, you could probably fit a few tangs in there at least to mix it up a bit.

Tank looks nice. I like.

Sphelps, very beautiful tank... wish mine looked like yours. My color sucks, coral sucks.... But things are slowly getting better. I THINK!!!

Anyways great tank! And oh yeah, your clear silicone looks perfect. Nice and clean.

Frig, I can't make up my mind. Anyone have a good pick of their tank (hopefully rimless) that could sway me in either direction?
Here is my 116 gal, my 46 gal frag tank and a 126 all with black silicone.

I really like the look of black silicone and looking at The Grizz's tank I think you should be sold!
