Todd's ~ 320 Gallon System- A New Biginning?

I agree Cheryl,
Anyways, without more pics,
The WBTA has stayed put moving about 4" up a rock face- Fully open again;
and the RBTA moved again, up more, back some, under a plating Monti,
Half in the light, half shade.

 

Well my RBTA is now facing the backwall, near the top and the end- Easily seen by the side panel.
It's color looks great, and the it's former resident (Oc. Clown) isn't going in when it's over there.

I've been wanting to move a few of my larger rock pieces back about 4" backwards.

So I pushed my canopy back some to get access to get the large rock/colonies out the top while on my step ladder.
In doing so, a had to move some big pieces of Rock and with large colonies out of the tank,
re-set some rock underneath- then try and place/balance the larger pieces back on top.



This is the void left my the excavation



As you know, corals are very brittle and easily broken off.
Luckily, none of my big pieces broke, and I only broke a few small pieces.
I broke off a piece of my Pearlberry, and I stepped on a frag of 'Joe the Coral'- dont ask
So I salvaged the pieces that are now in my Frag area in my sump



Here is the main area after my excavation



Here is a new FTS after the excavation

 

I know. It must b awful to be on loser left

 

I love your tank.
Why redoing scape? Are the pieces on the Rubbermaid lit real or fake?

 

You are referring to these? It's amazing what our DT lights do to the colors of Coral



Oh yes, I can assure you that nothing in my DT, or system is fake- such as a fake ornamental Coral.
I get extreme pleasure from growing large colonies out of very small frags.
I could not afford buying colonies the sized I have when already grown.
It does take years, but to me it's worth it.

 

Yup that's them. I'm only skating because out if water.
Again bad a$$ tank. I might need your advice and I get into SPS

 

And I'm doing what you did. I have21 small frags in my tank. Mostly chalice and zoas. I love chalice and can't wait to them grown in colonies. Except waiting a couple years sucks!!!
