Tongs were out of the question, so the only option was to go snorkeling in the tank lol. ----------------------- .

We have had very little loss in this tank which is great do to the massive amount of specimens we have added. i personally like the aussie scully garden lol. let me know if you have any other questions. thanks for checking it out i will be adding pics from time to time to exhibit the growth as well as new specimens (stay tuned for the 300 gallon bar build we are starting next!) ----------------------- .

Beautiful tank :)^ but the equipment is a little suspect for such a nice set up. ----------------------- SUPPORT YOUR LFS.............Well at least the ones worth supporting

Remodels can be tricky,you have to deal with alot of pre-existing conditions At the time the lighting was purchased we were dealing with a very tight clearance over the tank.We felt that the reflectors were ok for the situation ! Later the job morphed into removing the ceiling installing a wench and grid. if we had known all of this at conception! We would have recommended better reflectors ! Thank you so much for your input!! ----------------------- http://www.aqualifeaquarium.com
