    Thanks - I hope my stylo gets big like your avatar. :)

    Thank you SAY. Other than the details posted here I just had to ride it out, be patient and stick with it - and learn from my mistakes! As for the camera/pictures - I dug out my old film camera - a Cannon T50 - I have a pretty big lens on it that is not made for zooming in from inches away, I need to change that. My trick was to take a lot of pictures and pick the best ones. :) I was using 400 film and auto aperture. I need to play with those settings as well after I get a good lens for close ups.

    Nice tank, I was planning on getting rid of the tank that I have, and building a 36 x 36 x 16 shallow rimless tank too, but I wasn't able to do so. I was also planning on building a DIY full LED lamp, have you ever considered building one? Since the tank is very shallow it wouldn't require much intensity. Anyways, good luck.

    Thanks Matt, yours will look heavy like mine if it is in heavy flow, as will most corals. Lighter flow will allow it to grow less dense and more up, out and around.
