I never understood the sand thing. Nothing but bad in a cup of sand. You are literally scooping all detritus from someone's tank and adding it to yours. I would never add anyone else's water into my system. Just asking for trouble if you ask me www.LAreefsociety.org

I hate bare bottom myself. I don't think it looks nice. I have such a shallow sand bed just for appearance. Move your mp40s higher up. To avoid stirring up the sand. Even high up the flow will move downward just not as violent. www.LAreefsociety.org

Wow beautiful tank. Very nice coral so far www.LAreefsociety.org

60g is a small enough tank to be moved out of the way if you were to spill water. You can slide it away and clean up your carpet. Adding wood underneath would just make it harder to move www.LAreefsociety.org

a few points from above posts... the name game was and is created at the hobbyist level once its already here. collectors are concerned with volume not quality. The shippers are the ones that are learning and separating for the higher paying clients. So much comes out of Vietnam and...

any live rock starts to die the second you remove it from water. those live rock boxes that fish stores buy come from overseas and sit at wholesalers for weeks only in a damp bag. it then moves to LFS and they throw it in tanks. There is much die off that gets cycled in their tanks and the...

gyres are nice because you can put them very high up and it would be almost out of view. the circulation of the gyre would give the tank a ton of indirect flow if you point them across the tank at the top.

bump, I will have some SPS and zoas for $10 again.
