Wow, whenever I see a really well done SW tank with all the "landscaping," it make me feel as though I have not done enough for my FW tanks :?

It looks so awesome. Just one question: what the heck is a sump???

 

[muse12]

A sump is a smaller tank that fits under the display tank (inside the stand usually) and contains all of the filter elements.

That is a really great looking frogspawn!
nice tank!

WOW - your tank is amazing. I can't wait until mine is mature and looks half as good as yours.

Stusclan, Thanks for your great comments. Its always good to have a model tank that you can look at and get modivation. I still am envious of many photos posted in our photo gallery by other members.
