And this is what it looks like basically today after a bunch of live sales and what feels like a **** ton of work going through cyano and dinos. Tell me whatcha thing and what I could improve.

Looks great, it's coming along nicely.

 

[Jlew766]

Added a aptasia eating filefish to see if it would help with the increasing numbers of the buggers other wise just a visual update.
