............... plus many many other gadgets.

This is all Ricky's work with a lil help from our friends .
He had great vision in terms of the rockwork and off course he's had livestock for years that was recently moved to the bns and display.

he is using the insulation type foam that is use for ponds, it dries to a grey color very similar to live rock, and it hardens in a few hours. I am going to experiment with that stuff when I set up my new tank.

LOL ask Rich why I give him so many of my corals to hold, it's because they look so much better in his tank than mine.
