  1. The 400g Has Arrived

    Friday September 6 2013 at 10:00 a.m., I was ready and waiting by the door for a big truck bearing my 400g replacement reef aquarium.

  2. Midnight's 300g Build

    It's been a very long time since I have updated, so this is well over due.

    First things first, due to all of Melev's tank troubles I have had to work with Marineland in resolving some possible issues. As you know I was mimicking Melev's tank design but using my own dimensions. Kevin over at Marineland has been working very hard with me to ensure that all will be ok.

    Well unfortunately the Family and I have decided that we have to move into the city of Charlotte, NC. This will eliminate her just over an hour commute. That being said, I am going to have to tear down the tank and sell it to the highest bidder.

I asked the guy if I could get starphire glass on the front and sides and that they didn't do that, Well I thought to myself Ive seen other people post that they had a Marineland tank with starphire I thought Melevs was that way as well, So I emailed them to see if it was still possible.
