that piece was added so he could add a piece across the top so a fan could fit in there and attach to the bar that heads behind the tank

Don't jump to fast to sell your setup bud, it can't be that expencive to run. Switch to IO Reef Crystal for salt, it's cheaper & a bucket should last you a good amount of time.

its between two hobbies this or hunting, and those pups in your yard would be a great retrieving dog.

i might hold on to the tank. but anyway hows my tank look? i have an anemone in there thats not opening very wide.

Nano 04-13-2012 12:06 AM
