Do you have any issues keeping the glass clean, where you can't squeeze something in to clean it? If not, I would love to know your secret.

Handy!
I'm very conscious of rock placement when it comes to keeping things clean. I go for minimal rock in my displays, typically. But, with my contest build I may need to add a lot more rock than I originally intended (to keep within the water volume restriction). Your tank looks so nice and clean, and there is no evidence of neglected glass in the photos. It eases my mind quite a bit. I need to follow you around the city purchasing corals. We've got pretty similar tastes in a lot of things. A bunch of your specimens are on my "must have" list. And, you've found them locally! |
