Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Just one she or he is kind of shy when I bring out the camera.

You take really good photos - is that the camera you mentioned? He/she is very cute and wittle
 
Wow - that’s beautiful- what is it? It’s like seamless!
That's just the outside - it has some uglies, but not bad. The AIO chamber in the back got a few more uglies.
 
This was my first attempt at Acrylic tanks. Next project is likely going to be a small dosing container with 4 chambers.

When do I start placing my order!
 
So you make these free-hand, not with 3-D printer - I think that’s a dumb question but ya never know
Tenecor cut the Acrylic and sent me the pieces. I assembled and glued them together with Weld-On. Not with the 3D printer.

I don't see an ad? But I do know they're getting ready to drop another DIY. Drop off tank this time. I'd love one but my wife wouldn't...
 
I was building a thing.

We had Panda Express today, so no tacos. Orange Chicken and Beijing Beef with fried rice.
That's great how many gallons will it hold?
 
Lights just came on and the new fish is covered in ick. :confused: Should I remove just him and treat or do I need to remove my snails and 2 corals and treat the tank? Removing the snails and corals would more than likely be easiest. I have Kordon rid ick on hand and have read its ok for crabs but not coral or snails. In all the years I have been getting fish from my LFS I have never had any issues with any illness in their fish. I also have coppersafe from fritz.
