    Most definitely. It has grown about 2" in the last year so Im guessing it will be about 6" long this time next year. I know my filtration can handle it so its just a matter of how happy it can be in a 36" tank. Im going to wait and see, if things get cramped it will have to be moved.

    well mike.. my best reefing buddy.. looks great.. makes me want to downsize so i can pack my corals in there LOL.

    Softie frags are doing good.. will have to get some of that sps off you if I decide to downsize or setup the 37g. Thought about going sps only on it with an mp10 or mp20.. but not enough room in my house

    You should. Two tanks is always better than one.

    Totally stealing that mangrove idea! And I'll be setting up a 40Breeder in "Nano Style" in the next week (assuming what I think you're talking about and in my head are the same thing :)

    Looks great! One question - any heat problems with the mangroves in such a tight spot?
    Karma sent!

    Not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean the mangroves in the rear section of the DT or the mangroves in the frag/fuge?

    No heat problems at all though. My system volume is about 65 gallons and only 30 of that sees the light of a halide. The system stays at 68 degrees 24/7.

    I was thinking of the frag/fuge, sorry I wasn't clear :)

    Great tank!

    Oh got ya. No heat problems at all. I run about 80 watts of PC lighting over the frag/fuge. The lights are about 2' off the water. The frags are only about 2" under water in there so they still get plenty of light.
