Flower do you have a high school or college in the area that has a marine life program. If so I would reach out to them they may be able to incorporate your maintenance in their learning curriculum

Just a side note to anyone reading his thread and deciding that they want to replace a cracked piece of glass. If it’s the bottom its bracing that is most important not thickness. And height of the tank when it comes to pressure not overall length

Very nice are the clowns looking to be hosted by the torch ?

Actually Snake you bring up a good point (as usual) . As those of us that have or are considering a dragonet know. In the wild they are carnivores that constantly scan live rock for small crustaceans such as copepods, isopods and worms. This is all they eat in the wild, and this is where the...

Can you post a pic of just the return setup? I think you can run into problems there. Also with the small tank refuge sitting on a platform you lose water volume and running your sump at a level that will not overflow when you shut the system down you will lose even more water in the refug.
