Thanks for the compliments guys! This is my largest tank so far but has been fairly easier to maintain than my previous tanks. As far as the manufacturer of the 70g, it is a Marineland tank. My old acrylic cube is made by advanced acrylics in California, although I'm not sure if they still make tanks. As for the jelly fish, it is a present from my girlfriend so naturally it had to go right above the tank. As time passes I am hoping to fill the BB with various lps and possibly making as sps island in the open corner. Looking forward to seeing some tanks on here.

Thanks! I do miss the look of sand, as well as the extra support it provides for rock scapes. My rock probably fell 4 times before I got it to sit right lol. It is solid now though. I also am disappointed that I cant add goby's and certain wrasses as well as pistol shrimp and the blue spot jaw fish but the clean look of the white BB definitely appeals to me. A cool plus to the white BB is that corals are growing under the rock caves since the light is reflected off of it.
