    yeah that's all the Alternative Reef stuff. Looking great!

    I think I'll have to come and measure around that overflow tower and make you a cover out of 1/8" black acrylic to hide those pipes. Something you can just have on the outside of the tank (if there's enough of a gap between the wood trim and glass) so you can remove it if you need to. I have almost 2 full 4x8 sheets of that stuff and hardly ever use it...

    The school really loves it. The parents and kids always go in and sit and watch it after school.

    Going over now to measure for the top off tank. This will make my life SO much easier.

    Tank looks great. I thought about setting up a small reef in my room. But, I don't think i could bring myself to come in every day to check on it in the summer.

    I have gotten to the point where I only go every 3 days. There will be the principal and secretary at smouse all summer and they feed it.
