    I have a 30 gal reef that's 3 months in. I'll be showing big updates to the tank with the word update at the top of the post. Any small things won't. These pics are a few weeks old and I moved some stuff but this is basically it...

    Thanks! I got 30 lbs of rock. It looks like less because the rock was pretty dense. It had a lot of good stuff on it though.

    Also, I made a frag holder for acclimating and fragging today. It is going to help a lot.

    Cool! I made one for my cube too. Will you be fragging and selling/trading?

    Haha yeah. I can't wait to go all 'surgeon crazy' on my corals. This is a 4 bulb fishneedit fixture right?

    Ya, 2 actinic 2 10k whites. Here's what I made for holding corals when I acclimate and glue. I superglued egg crate to a container.. Pretty easy and will hold a lot of frags.
