Anyway, I came across the following photos and am really tempted and inspired to do this drop cliff reef aquarium next year.
Closer to home, the following is what I own now. This is reality.
Aquarium 3 (3 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet and sump - 250 litres)
I am impressed how others maintain their aquariums in pristine condition. I battle scarring of the glass with growth of algae all the time. I don't know how to keep the glass clean all the time.
The green bubble algae is appearing every now and then at some areas, so I can understand why it was recommended not to let it establish itself in the home aquarium. Once it is there, it is hard to get rid of it completely.
The unknown fine red algae suddenly grew fast and covered my Duncan coral, so I had it thinned out.
The livestock update is as follows:
