Very nice looks really good. On the first pic of the cinder blocks it looks like the tank overhangs quite a bit. Is it pretty stable maybe consider putting a piece of plywood under it?

I had originally thought of putting painted siding on it. Im going for a clean look. I like the idea of painting the bricks, but I worry it will look too rustic. If I use lots of oil-based paint, it might look better. Im seriously considering it.

Also, trying to decide of livestock. I want a fish that is always doing something interesting. Not even considering firefish or damsels.
Perhaps a nice clownfish and anemone group. or maybe a small wrasse. I want something that isnt super common, but I feel like its all been done before.

i had a 6 line wrasse in my nano that was always up to something, constantly moving and looking around, cool little guy

How often do you do water changes?

 

[dan987]

Not often enough, according to conventional wisdom. I haven't done a water change in several weeks. I'm gonna step it up.

Well, I guess necessity is determined by the life you keep in there. Obviously SPS/LPS require more. But hey, the carpet looks happy, that's impressive!
