    I would like to see more pics of the WHOLE system. Like the DT, equipment, "behind-the scenes" kind of thing. ;D

    It sees greg has all of his acros.'s together. I have read someone on this board that it is best not to mix in softies with acros.'s. My across are spread across 125 with various leathers, sps, and lps. Do I have some rearranging to do? I a going to see if I can get a decent full view pic of my tank and post it. Paul

    Thanks, I have approximately 200 corals in my display.

    Thanks you are very kind. As hobbyists we tend to put things together in our displays that are not found together in nature. So I would say not necessarily improved but certainly different.;)
    I'll post some when I get a chance. Thanks for your interest.
    :)
    I do have some gorgonians in my display. I use zoas mostly as filler between sps and my LPS is kept at a safe distance from the sps. If you run a mixed reef I recommend running carbon to absorb the toxins.
    I am pretty lucky so far. Interestingly enough my worst sps polyp nipper is my yellow tang.

    This is next shot is actually one coral with two distinct growth forms. I'm still trying to get a positive ID.

    INCREDIBLE!!! That is one of the nicest tanks I have ever seen. Thanks for the pics and info on the tank. I hope to see more and I would like more behind the scenes photos too, protein skimmer, sump, etc..., the more technical side.
