Comments

Such a good throw at this type of tanks but than you leave your circulator so clearly in sight? Easspecially with rocks it is easy to take it from sight.

Love the fish and reast of the feeling of the tank though.

Nice biotope. Please remove your hardware from the tank as I'm sure these are not found in the wild. :)
