    Live rock Rubble instead of Bio Balls

    I am by far no expert, but the sump of my 135g tank is run directly into a portion that has LRR with no pre filter. I then have some mangroves to help with the filtering and may add a DSB to the bottom of this. I have a xeon light to keep things bright and may add some CUC members soon. Pretty...

    Just thinking of odd aquariums...

    I think the Clearwater Aquarium was once a boat shop or spa. They have converted it into an aquarium to care for injured dolphins and other fish. A very cool place to check out if in the area. This is where the Dolphin Winter lives now.
