Y'all got something against the Borg Nano?



I actually prefer a clean showpiece. But I just don't have the room for that. I've removed the canister from the frag tank. It looks "okay" now but it's no showpiece with all that algae on the rocks.

Re: Vote: Franken Tank vs Living Room Showpiece

bwahha lol @ "guy not voting" Showpiece for sure, The problem is most of us dont have the skill and or money to do it. my perfect scenerio is the huge 7-8 foot long in wall tank with tank room behind it so i can make as big of a mess as i want and have all kinds of crap in there. additionally having a reefkeeper or some system similar with digital displays next to my bed to monitor things like temp (we will see if i can ever get away with that.) also email alerts if there are any changes that happen.


then the ultimate dream of course is a large enough show tank for my black tip reef sharks
