i don't really have a name for it. maybe "nemo's hutch"? marine isn't so hard. the worst part is buying all of the filtration. i have a 41 gal. with a UV sterilizer, a canister filter, protein skimmer, 2 circ. pumps dual head lighting of which one bulb is actinic and the other a 10,000 kelvin high-intensity daylight lamp. lessee, what else....yeah, that's it. the canister filter however is oversized for the tank which makes the cleanings a little less frequent. the hard part about them is getting them setup and getting the bacteria down right. i lost soooo many fish because the water wasn't "setup" yet. granted my tank used to look great. but i've neglected it over the last 3 years b/c of either depression or money for upkeep or both. anyway, i'll post some pics from when it was in it's "prime"
