what am i missing here ..." We only needed around 15K for our experiments, so we didn’t keep the other ones.".... what physically happed to the other 25k? Did you send those to other public aquariums , reef clubs to hand out to dedicated reef keepers or ??. just my two cents.Ellery F Wong says:
Very encouraging work!Alicia says:
This isnt a horrible tank idea, i quite like it, only suggestion id make is to use a plastic instead of glass. But this is a good idea, dont listen to the judgemental people.
