    Is my tank leaking?? HELP!

    I have similar creep on most of my tanks from time to time. I believe mine is mostly from the small amount of water that runs down the front of the tank during water changes, feedings and and fragging adventures along with the hob filters, skimmer, and cords/tubing.

    New Duncan

    I bought a duncan about 9 mo ago w/ 13 heads for $130. Here it is after shipping and another pic a couple months ago. I feed mine mysis and cyclopeeze about once a week and it has done pretty well. It now has over 30 heads and a lot of new calcium/bone growth. Hope you like.

    It's a type of xenia. I have a large colony in my tank. I have to trim it quite frequently but by far the easiest and most productive since i started in saltwater
