Your quote is very very true! I do watch the tank and let it tell me how its doing more han measuring levels...it is much more accurate once you know what to look for!

The video was taken w my new hd camcorder which is why I'm a little dissapointed w the quality! But thank you very much for the compliments! I just took 350 pictures so ill be putting some cool coral and fish pictures as soon as I can get the pictures edited!

Those pictures are all from my previous 210 that was broken down a year ago. The 300 in wall with fish room is much nicer!

There are a lot of angels coming in with Flukes so make sure they get a round or two of prazi and be very aware of Velvet. That could kill all your fish before you know it is there!

Unfortunatly, most of the fish I want are expensive! True Personifer, Clarion, Maze...
