    so decided it has been too long since i posted pics. I reworked my tank , with new skimmer, increased lighting, dif spectrum, lots a flow, and less sand and rock.also sold most of my original corals,(softies/lps) for sps. you can see in the full pic some corals are much more mature, some have been in there almost 2 yrs. not like me to take pics when the tank is dirty but could not resist.

    i had increased my lighting ,and bulb change, in the same week i had run with out a skimmer, and was really moving stuff around, fraggin corals, and removing sand. so i had and algae outbreak, but it is almost completely cleared up. it was lookin really bad for a while. so do not be too harsh.

    ask any questions, im sure i have a reason for any thing odd.
    like why i use so much aquapoxy. lol, cause i love it.

    ill get more pics soon. when i can get better shots. i am not used to this bulb color so it takes some playing around to get colors to show up the way they do in life. plus my camera lens is scratched. so do not be harsh.

    constructive criticism is always welcome!

    not sure but i can find out. they are like a plastic. with a spike. they fit perfectly into dealers crate frag racks. i did not like them at first but ive made lil stations of epoxy for them to fit in to all around the tank. this makes it easy to light acclimate, and move them around if they need to, or as new frags come in.


    once they are happy in a spot and are growing and start encrusting down the frag plug, i will build up rock rubble for them to encrust onto and hide the plug. i need to do this now to the rose milli,bottle brush, and blue tort. they are growing the fastest.

    yes i love the bills & sabres also. lets go T.O.
    cheers ace

    if you look closely i think you can see the white bandit acro crab that lives in the blue bottle brush, he is pretty sweet. wish i could get a good pic of him.
