    The problems of a coral addict.

    This frogspawn was tucked away somewhere, living, but not really thriving. So, since I lost a good portion of one of my plating montis, it was a great shelf for dude to sit on.

    I thought I had plenty of room between the FS and the frag rack. Well, as you can tell by the BN on the right, or should I say, half the birds nest...

    Then you see why.

    I need a bigger tank, like a 93cube or something...

    And what a good thought, since you have one sitting in your living room!, waiting to be plumbed up.

    What are we waiting for anyways? For you to decide to take my suggestion and mount a thin, coast to coast on the inside, and a box with a 3 drain style on the outer?
    It would be quite easy, and would give you the ultimate in overflow capability- just my 2 cents.

    Sidenote: your "birdnest" is pocillopora.

    Unless he's talking about the one in the foreground?

    I assumed the comment was in reference to the one it's about to touch, as well as the half eaten one to right of it. :)

    But yes, the blurry one near the camera is a birdsnest.

    Thanks all! I feel silly, for some reason I always thought that pocillopora was a type of birdsnest. :confused:

    I'm glad I posted this, I learned something new today. And on a friday!

    you assumed correctly. And that blurry birdsnest came from the Snow-Texan in this thread Mr Sails! It's been growing like crazy lately :D
