Hey! Some of those pieces look strangely familiar! ;)

That is a GREAT looking tank Jason, I think Jr is right, you must be following the fish around with a tube!

Wow your tank looks great. The sand is very white and the corals are very bright

No kidding, what is your maintenance routine?



Thanks for the compliments guys!
my filter sock gets cleaned every other day as well as my skimmer, my overflow box comes out for a scubbing every 5-7 days. I do 35 gal waterchanges every other week to once a month.power heads and plumbing come out once a month for a vinager bath. but the best way to describe my maintenece routine is I am OCD:beat_brick:

first, deuce, you should get an award for best-kept tank! :haha: immaculate! nice!

second, your stuff is insanely sick!!

I don't know man, that tank is beautiful! I'd still look at getting a second tank. but then again, if this tank looks this good, imagine how a larger tank would look.... hmmm...

GO FOR IT! :haha:
