Default 140g

HI!
I'm new here...

We have salt water aquarium for 5 years now. Started with a 90g... went after on a upgrade to a 265g... and now we donwsized to a 140g..

Here's what the 265g look like at his best:


we closed it a few months ago... too much work, too expensive....

So now we have a 140g tank, SPS dominated.
Here's some pics...











thanks for looking.

Hi Josie, welcome to Canreef! I think both tanks look great, however, I would give the edge to the 140 (really like the rimless, the light fixture and the aquascaping)

Thanks for the welcome

New skimmer installed today... not a new technology but we hope it will do the work.
We bought a used Octopus Downdraft... anyone have experience with this one or other downdraft skimmers?
