Excuse the microbubbles, having an issue with my Tunze 9002 Skimmer.

Pics were taken January 16th, the Tank is about 1 year old. I have since then picked up a wack of SPS frags and have moved all the Zoa's into my daughter's little Skimz IBOX Pico tank.

I'll post those ones up after the frags get settled in.

I'm really loving the crisp look as well, the Sailfin is just an itty bitty guy about 7" nose to tail & about 10" with his fins fully extended.

If you really loved tangs you'd never keep one never mind three in an over stocked 29g biocube Doesn't matter that they are small that is just not right, they need way room to swim

Your LFS should know better and not make such deals
