So you gave in to our nagging! Awesome collection! I wanna see some fiddler crabs on those islands (dunno if they're reef safe, but that would look cool, wouldn't it?)!
More coral pictures! I love your clams too. Show some more zoas please! :D

thank you very much that was very kind , we like theme tanks so we wanted to think outside the box and i design aquariums and sumps for a living for a aquarium fabricator so its something i had on the back burner for a while now but was just too poor to start lol

Absolutely AMAZING!! I wish I could see this thing in action! Could you possibly post a video at some point so we can get the full effect?

This is such a creative and unique idea! AWESOME!! 1smile1
