Tank Of The Month Entry For Marco

[reeflounge_admin]

My tank is a 30 AGA with a corner overflow which makes it kind of unique I guess. It has been set-up for 2 years. I feel this tank is proof that you don't necessarily have to have all the top of the line equipment to be successful. I have been in the hobby since 1985. This tank is a compilation of what I have learned through the years but may not necessarily be in line with what all the "experts" say should be done.
