Thanks for sharing and I really love the photos. Please keep them coming.

Actually a lot of sand has leaked down there on it's own and lots of snails and crabs hang out in there.

I should get some better pics I have some interesting stuff in the tank now. I'll post these crappy cell pics for now but I'll post some better ones later.


This crab is reef safe believe it or not:

Eventually gonna work towards this I'm thinking:

Rearranged some rock work on the upper level of my tank before the drop off. Got some rock that have caves in them.

Still waiting for something to go wrong. Can't believe how well it worked. Still no nitrates or ammonia. Everything is very stable.

Have to sell off the anemonies though. They are stinging my SPS.
