Great work Jesper!

Question, if you don't mind......... Do you completely seal (with silicone) all your modules or do you let water circulate somehow? Ever drilled any caves?

Thanks!

I don´t mind :D yes I seal the modules with silicone and drill some caves in them,
drilled so you can´t see them thought the frontglass.

My plan was to creat two reefs and connect them in the middle of the aquarium. And make a 25 cm. high sand level though
the background. I hope you get my point.

The bad news is that all of the three new aquariums I´ve bought from a Danish Aquarium manufacturer where not tight
so they are all been returned to him. And I´ve bought some new ones from another danish Aquaruim maker in the same dimensions as before. Here is a link to there website maybe some of you know them: http://www.eldorado.dk/Akvarier.438.aspx

The to aquariums on 720 liters is up running and the big tank arrive here sometime next week. And then it is all over ones again :oops: :twisted: :( :x
