about four months,, she eats really well..as long as you provide them with enough flow and feed them aften enough they should be fine

I think it was a Queen song...
"I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
and I want it NOW"
Time to throw more reef 'roids in the tank.

I'll be honest, when you first posted pics of your tank with Great Stuff I thought "Man, that looks awful" but it has really turned out nice now that it has grown in. So now I think "Man, Great vision!".

:D And that is exactly what i thought as i was building it, but i knew what the end result would be.. i will jsut think of myself as a pioneer..great ideas and advancements have to come from somewhere :P

i would do a few things different but i really like how the greatstuff turned out,, Purplesprite,, that is where i got my inspiration for the tank..I donated a clam to them about 6 years ago and i got the very first behind the scenes look at there systems and from that point i knew i was going with the foam
