    there cant ever be enough pictures on threads with tanks that look this interesting IMHO
    how many different species of coral are in there, its hard to take it all in there are so many pieces to look at and they all look like they have exploded in terms of growth

    I know your busy, but if ever you have a dull half hour, some more close ups of the individual corals in there would be appreciated for inspiration purposes

    Wow! You're pretty good with the camera, I'd say! Enjoy those days with the boy napping - they don't last long enough...unless his name is Jwin and he went to bed around the time I got up this morning....

    Forget Red Bull or Monster - I'm going to invent an energy drink and call it "college kid." ;D

    Thanks everyone!

    Steve: We have about 5-6 different species of montipora and about 15-20 different species of acropora. I'll definitely try to take close ups of each coral, time permitting, this weekend.

    All in all, the tank looks pretty good considering it was only set up last April after our 180 sprung a leak.

    Trust me, I enjoy every minute that he naps. This kid fights us over everything. Sleeping, eating, diaper changes. The only thing he doesn't seem to mind is baths....yet! It's EXHAUSTING. I don't know how you did it with 3 at the SAME TIME!

    Indeed there is! :) I can't imagine how much work it would be to keep up with calcium/alk supplements without one in an SPS dominate tank.
