i cant wait till i get the last 175watt 20k MH!

 

[corallover23]

would anyone like to add anything? lol i guess my start up / cycle sucks!

 

[corallover23]

this is going to be a reef tank maybe with 2 fish later on down the road when i get my pod population way up. i love the green mandrins, but i hear they are hard to keep unless you have billions of pods.
