    That sounds like it could be a good plan. I know it seems like it takes them forever to grow but soon enough it will be all filled in. I think in another year or so mine should look real full with growth.

    Great frags, clams, torch and Cyphastrea. The color combo on the Cyphastrea is awesome.

    lol...with the success rate of Achilles I just cant chance $400...$300 is gonna be my max, and my wife thinks i'm absolutely nuts at that...lol Plus a show size might be a little too aggressive to start out in my tank...i'm thinkin I should go with medium to large...try to match my Orange Shoulder's size for a better chance at compatibility

    I'm thinking about plumbing in a 20Gal aquarium and putting it over my current 75Gallon sump/fuge....the new 20Gal would pretty much just be to add water volume, grow more pods, and be another fuge with ONLY Chaeto, where as right now its primarily grape caulerpa..i wouldnt be adding any sand to it...scrictly macro..and lots of it...what do you guys think?
