    lol my dad is a machinist i was at there house one day and remembered these loc lines had been in the tool chest for years, and was exactly what i needed, wish i could get more.

    ....the rock structure has a pvc support and most of the rocks are zipptied into place, the entire length of the tank behind the rocks is open also. my goal when i thought of this aquascaping was to allow for alot of swimming room for my fish. while still having plenty of room for corals.

    also i had the sections already kinda planned on what corals i wanted with the euphillia on the right were the big open section is so there tentacles could sway easily(and not against the rock wall), and the softies on the left. sps were not supposed to be in the mix but nothing i put on the top of the arch would flourish, so i got some free sps frags from the lfs (they were like half bleached) and well you can see what the birdsnest looks like now it has recovered and grown more than i could have expected.the pocilliopora is looking a little shoty but its rather new and was in bad shape when i got it. still want to fill the top out with more easier sps corals. and get rid of the capenella.


    oh and about that lil yellow fish if anyone has a peaceful reef tank you got to get a Gobiodon okinawae such an awsome fish, hard to feed and often sold malnourished but really make a reef tank look like a reef the way he uses all the corals for protection. darting in and out of them all day. and he is so little the corals dont know hes even there.
