    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Very very nice.

    Is that an Elegance Coral.

    The monitora on the back wall compliments the shape of the tank very well.

    It's simplistic in a way.

    I love your tank, just goes to show that you don't need to have a big tank to have a beautiful reef.

    nope it is a torch...i am having a hard time making it super happy but it is doing well, it is a little pale right now, normally a little greener with nice yellow tips...i have turned my lights way down and everything else seems to be responding positively so i am going to rid it out a bit longer and see what happens...and thank you...

    Thank you

    Thank you, that is what i was going for, however i would certainly appreciate a little more room in there...i am hoping to setup up my 30 long soon (48x12x12)

    It amazes me to see how some people have taken such a small space and turned it into a reef tank. I am about to embark on this marine tank journey. My fears of creating a toxic waste water tank that dissolves all life I introduce is a motivating factor toward my research. Nice looking setup and hats off to you.

    I love this setup. Keep adding onto the overflow, it looks great.

    take your time and plan it out, it will all work just fine...i was worried about chemical warfare, but havent seen any signs of it...strangely enough i have that toadstool leather in the centre and it constantly rubs the birdsnest, kenya tree and monti cap, and none of them seem to be too upset about it..

    thank you as well

    lol i am trying, havent really found anything else i like...and real estate is running out quickly too...i have to start fragging the cap too it is starting to shade everything...and thanks i love it too..

    I would even consider adding to the entire back 1/4 of the glass. A tank at one of the LFS has done that and it looks fantastic.

    i have added a couple more pieces, and i would love to add to the back glass, but it is so close to the rest of the rocks, overflow pipe, and GSP i fear it would be lost or killed..there really isnt any room back there for more stuff, unless i start mounting zoas back there, a polyp here and there and watch them cover everything up would be pretty cool..

    damn now i have to go buy more coral...
