I remember asking Spanko the same question about a tank I had seen. He told me that in my case the best thing I could do was take a picture of the tank I wanted to model my tank after and print the picture out and tape it to my tank. I guess he did take into consideration my expertise in the hobby

This situation has been talked about a number of times but as the saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words” I thought I would take new reef hobbyists through the proses of leather corals sloughing-off a thin top layer of tissue by posting pictures as my leather goes through this proses...
