    Thanks guys! Yep, I am defiantly am out of real estate so all I can really do now is nothing :). I usually take a lot of pictures so I'm sure I'll have plenty of growth shots to share soon.

    Looks good. If you added a few rocks in the middle, you'd gain some more real estate, and also add some "height" to the layout you have, and it wouldn't look so flat.

    Thanks. If I add some more rock than I defiantly will add some to the middle. The idea is that there is plenty of room to grow up and the caps will fill up the bottom level. The problem is that this is going to take another year before they start to fill in the top level.

    Honestly, you've got a lot of height there. How much distance from the top of those sps frags to the surface of the water?

    I am going to guess 14"? That's going to take more than a year... :)

    But... when a few years have passed, and they're all 14" tall, we both know the tank is going to look amazing!
