    Looks amazing Merri! I love the clam! I still really need to see this in person, but I think you need more mushrooms corals...

    tank looks good.
    are you only running the 2 emperor 400's on the back for filtration and what type of lighting do you have?

    I want to upgrade to a sump and a bigger tank but right now it works for me. The only thing that kills me is buying my filter refills. They are expensive. I would love one of the zero edge aquariums, but they are not practical.

    dont use them.....All I did was use the empty cartridges for carbon didnt bother with the filters because just like anyother reef tank your live rock and powerheads along with a skimmer is all you should need.

    You mean don't bother replacing the carbon filter refills and just rinse it off and reuse it?
