Getting to the bottom of the tank has been a real challange. A few times I wanted to put on my SCUBA gear. I bought tongs from J&L and I was still having problems. I found even longer ones from Big Al's when they were still in Calgary. It is not easy setting in Coral or LR as I have to use the tongs and it can take several attempts before I get it exactly where I want it. I don't know if anyone else has a better tool or system?

WOW! Gives me some ideas for our curved stair case .... I think it may be a "bit" out of my price range though!!!! Absolutely stunning!

Totally amazing!!!
It must be nice to have someone so small that could just swim in the tank to help daddy out.
But what are you going to do when she grows up?

do you golf? do you have a ball retriever with a little bucket on the end? - there has to be a tool not intended for reefkeeping that would work.

Or else, a volunteer? I don't recommend child labour, and certainly not your own daughter, but maybe somebody about Albert's size with a face mask on, that you could hang from the ankles for a short dip?

Wow, that is a gorgeous(sp?) tank, very cool with the curved glass.
What are you using for lighting with that kind of depth? 1000w? 1500w?

At present I am using a 10 000K 400W MH and 2x65W compacts. The tank is 48" deep. I don't have a lot of corals yet, but my single Acropora sp. (which is down low) seems to be doing O.K. although I haven't seen any growth since I got it in June. I was thinking of getting a second 400W MH. Would anyone recomment something different like a 1000W? Should I be seeing some growth in the Acropora by now?
Thanks

P.S. I don't golf AJ 77, but I just won a Taylor r7 425 driver as a door prize. They say it is the cadalac of drivers? Can always use it to hold up my tomato plants!
