    Thanks Corailline, I like the way the scape turned out. There is about 110 lbs of rock in there right now. Some will come out once the base rock colors up a little. I really like my very very little green birdsnest. I haven't had very good luck with acros so far but it has been doing really well.

    With that scape you have so many options for coral placement especially the sps and acorporas.

    I like the birdnest as well, but I can not keep them for some reason go figure. I am sure as the tank ages you and acropora will become friends.

    :)

    I hope I have a ton of flow in the top of the tank. I did it specifically for SPS in the future

    Couple more pics. I have heard about some people having GSP on the back wall of the aquarium to look like grass and I really wanted to try it.

    And here is my maroon clown stirring up some sand and getting it all over my corals.

    I am thinking about getting rid of the maroon clown and the jewel damsel and adding a some type of tang but I have not decided yet.

    Took some pictures of some of my favorite tank inhabitants, usually my conch and my mandarin are a little skittish.

    Looks Really sweet. I also have a Maroon clown. He loves to hang out by the heater. He usually comes out more when he gets fed. How has yours been doing?

    My maroon loves to hang out in one corner and will chase all the other fishes away except the trigger he is the boss of the tank. My clown also loves to stir my sand all over with makes me crazy because it gets sand on all of the surrounding corals.
