    Wow! That is thing is seriously heavy on the frags! I love he variety you have going in there, and once it grows out it is going to look ridiculously amazing.

    A few other things I liked...the variety of acan throughout the lower portion of your tank. I nice touch for use. You will not have much space left!

    Lastly, for those of you with big enough tanks, I love the shoals of Chromis. They don't get much play, but when you can set them up right they are awesome to watch patrol around the tank together. I'm subscribed and can't wait to see how this grows out!

    Thanks, I really enjoy the school of Chromis as well. They all swim together and having them makes the other fish stay out longer.

    That's a LOT of frags. I love the sps. Keep up the good work.

    Chromis always seem to add a nice touch.

    How do you suggest placing frags after you've removed the frag plug? I'm still new to the idea of using super glue inside of aquarium. Remove coral first then place in desired spot or what? :)

    I take the frag out of water and place a dab of super glue gel on the bottom of the coral. Next I place the coral on the piece of rock then dip the coral and rock in the tank then take the frag out of water and wait 20 seconds before putting the coral back in the tank.

    0_0 thats pretty confusing. what if the rock is 15lbs am i to just lift it out of the water and super glue my frags to it? Also just to be on the same page, we're talking about actually super glue right? The stuff you can by at the grocery store???? Or are we talking about some special aquarium super glue
