    Tank looks very nice Mr. Bill! The toad stool is stunning and i'm not usually a fan of that coral...

    Great to see you started a build thread! Tanks looking good, can't wait to see it as progress and fill in. There is always something, sort of hypnotizing about a good softie tank :)

    Tank looks great, that toadstool seems to be your showpiece. I like simplicity and also run skimmerless ,sumpless, reacterless. Small weekly waterchanges with a good salt a some testing works great

    Thank you, Todd.

    Thank you! Yep, it's my pride n joy. :)

    To be honest, I'm loving the simple approach. Just seems much easier and more enjoyable to perform manual maintenance on the tank rather than maintaining a lot of fancy technology.

    High Tech is not my cup of tea. I find it more frustrating to attempt add all the do hickies and adjust them. Kind of like a car, the more bells and whistles it has to work the more it has to break and need repair.
    +1 for the simple approach!

    LMAO! Thank you, Vinny. I'm just wondering when will it stop growing. lol

    That's a Cauliflower Colt. Had to put it in the corner by itself. Seems it has a mind of it's own if another coral is within reach- stretched a branch against the current and slimed my button polyps pretty good one night a while back.

    Thanks again, Bro. BTW, I've been waiting for new updates on your thread...
