ahh i c now .i was looking at there pumps but a lot of people are complaining they are falling way to early .guess i got more stuff i need to order :p
 
Very nice footprint on the tank. Some great choices on equipment. I love my wife's support for my hobby but 90% of what she wants is either not reef safe or future pests for the tank. Learn to say no. :D
