POTM
« on: January 19, 2013, 13:10:42 »
I have been thinking for ideas for potm for this year. We could do fish, inverts, lighting, control systems, fuges, most unique, best diy, anemones, nps corals or macro algae. Just a few ideas I wanted to tho out there.

Right now I would be up for worst GHA.  I can't seem to get rid of mine.  I personally have been debating adding a sump.  I would love to see how everyone else has theirs set up. 

My vote is for either GHA or Sumps/DIY

Let do best symbiotic relationships in a reef tank.  Could be goby and shrimp, clown and nem, as long as there are 2 animals in the picture that benefit each other, it would count.

Thoughts?

How about a pic of the oldest fish or invert you have in your tank and maybe a little story/background of its history?  Might be interesting to see what everyone has.

We could do something like the most annoying feature of your tank.  Everyone has something they wish they could tweak a little.  Be it a noisy overflow, an overflow compartment where your mag-float doesn't reach, or that one place in your tank that snails seem to climb into in a vain attempt to get stuck so it would seem.  See how many people have the same annoyances you do.  =P
No escape from the underwater world.  It always pulls me back in.
