That's good. Put a hook on each one and hang chains from them. Should put you close

Lol. Mine was too! I had to scoot my tank and stand over. Luckily i put a soft peice of carpet under mine and its on hardwood. To hang from ceiling you could do like i did mine. Chain is easier to work with than steel cable. I just like the clean look of the cable.

Good deal! Those duncans can grow up pretty quickly when fed.

Red acans are a fav of mine. Sun corals are super orange but require heavy feeding, super cool but i cant keep one.
