A few months ago I had an incident with the tank when an uncle stayed over in my room when I spent the night at my gf's. Well, the lights bothered him when he went to sleep, and instead of asking anyone or saying anything, he just unplugged everything from the wall. The next morning when I come home, i find the tank is as white as skim milk. The few corals that I had, both of my clowns, some crabs and snails, all died. The only things that made it were 3 large snails that were hanging out above the water surface and a pregnant peppermint shrimp that I also found near the top. Well, I thought at that point that I would just give up but I just like this hobby too much so I changed my mind. Well, enough of my sad story, on to pictures of my born-again tank. It is a 10 gallon with a DIY hood, 2x36W PCs, 6500K & "blue" actinic and a 15W actinic. DIY stand made from 1" plywood, triple sealed, painted black with white flecs and sealed with satin clear coat. Stand is topped off with an 18x36" slab of black marble. Matching hood is in the works.Opinions/advice welcome

PS-Anyone have any frags to sell? I have nothing to trade, yet.
