I'm having a 20" tall canopy built for my 125. There are three doors in front which allows me to open and service, feed or add livestock. There is a 4" ceiling drop to store my dry stuff e.g., ballast, wavemaker, etc., up on top. I purchased a 4' long electrical outlet strip to attach on...

<sigh> thanks for the info ...better to know than not. The good thing I noted from this, if you closely at the base of the sponge are clams. My daughter noted two of them opening and closing the other day and I hung around to observe amd sure enough, one of them opened to clear some sand...

Hi James - thanks for asking, it's the only recent photo shoot I have of my tank. In my email to Eric, I mentioned that the LFS clerk said it might be a sponge, but had no idea what type (P/T after school job for someone I presume) ...it was received with a few gorgonias and he thought it...

I have a what I believe is a red finger coral (Nephthyigorgia sp.) that is approximately 12" tall and 1/2" in thickness with six branches, each approximately 5 to 6" in length. Rather than producing white polyps, it produces clear, translucent polyps which leads me to believe it's a Minabea...
