    now that would look cool IMO
    the only benefit with glueing onto the small rock rubble is I can then move things about for a short while for aesthetic reasons. when I like how they look, then they will colonise the adjoining surfaces

    years ago, Id have honestly said, who needs them, we only had reds, browns and greens and none of these centre and edge 2 colour varieties to choose from, nowdays every colour of the rainbow is available in a relatively undemanding and easy to propogate coral species , they cant over run a tank like GSP or Anthellia as you can pick them off and either set another tank up or trade them , great things to have IMO

    That means these annivesary images are going to rock.

    Texas offers some really good food from what people on here have said recently, so thats not such a bad thing IMO LOL
    Get it set up slocal, and share the experience with us

    Ok Steve..UPDATE....I am starting to come out of the Diatoms also. In the Picotope. I still have 1 original Chromis. The other died, and then I added a Orange Stripe Chromis. He lasted a week, and died out of the blue...???. So I think the tank is telling me only one fish. I am ok with that. I think tomorrow, I will test params. If all good, I will add crabs, snails, and maybe a small zoa. (Since I can no longer have them in the big tank). I will post new pics tomorrow, if I make that move. Yours is looking great!!
