    A few pictures of the tank itself as well. All same rockwork and corals as before. Did a waterchange today and added some more sand. Still have to finish adding sand to the left side of the tank and might alter the placement of a few corals. Broke my purple stylo during transport which was a bummer but all frags survives and are rather large so they have been placed in various places to back a large stylophora jungle as they grow out. In the end itll look better than it did before anyhow.

    Very nice, impressive scape too.

    You obviously have the Stylophora green/blue/purple thumb.

    Thanks I am pretty happy with how the scape turned out. For some reason the stylophora LOVES my tank. Might not grow as fast as the xenia but it sure tries to lol. Funny thing is it is just the ORA purple stylo that grows that well that fast. I have had a pink stylo for a long time and it does not grow nearly as fast. It did start from a much smaller frag though and I think I have heard the pink is a more compact slower growing stylo for some reason.

    Well I for one am seriously jealous. Purple is right up in the 10 favorite corals of mine. I love the way it has those little ball tips.

    Great looking tank. I love how you've taken it slow and allowed everything to grow out. Congrats!
