I have some salt creep on the outside as well occasionally.

I got it from a local reefer and I'm not quite sure where he got them from. But I trust him. They were only like 3 months old. Look brand new
 
Yeah, its just so ugly to look at... And cleaning is a pita. I want to buy a rimless.. I was thinking of sealing the inside under the black rim on a water change day..
 
And im glad u like them! Hope ur livestock and corals do as well!

Yeah, but after the 2 Ocellaris Clowns That will be it for that size of tank. You don't want to bioload your tank too much with fish. If you don't have a skimmer GET 1... that will save your bacon (corals actually)... Most LPS and softies come from lagoons or shallow reefs that are used to somewhat dank water (Meaning Nutrient Rich), If you are wanting to venture into some more expensive LPS or SPS. They will require more pristine water which skimming will help produce, unless you just LOVE doing water changes because that is what you will be in for by feeding your fish. Try feeding sparingly just what they can eat in 2-3 minutes no more... Also, you can try feeding every other day... That is another good recommendation as it gives the biological filter a chance to do it's job a bit better.

Hope this helps!

Then you are good to go. She will love the tank that is for sure and it should actually cut down on her aggressive tendencies as long as the other fish stay out of her territory.

Happy Reefing!

You would love it! I messed up and got involved in saltwater and now I feel like I have to have planted and reef tanks. :) Imagine how addicting FW tanks are and multiply it by 100. Then you'll have how addicting SW is. Lol.

I know I would love it. But my hubby would hate it. He doesn't like any of my tanks. He's not into the fishes like I am. Maybe later this year I will look into a nano tank.

Lol. My boyfriend was that way until I got saltwater. So there's hope. :)
 
I'm not quite sure on the brand really, but I don't think they're knockoffs. The best lfs in San Diego sells them for 240$. They look very similar to taotronics.
 
But oh well, I'm happy with them! :) I guess that's all that matters. And that they grow corals haha
