    I like the big tan one under the overflow box. I think it has a greenish tinge to it.....the yellow fiji could go between the two. Of course, what YOU like and don't is the most important thing ;)

    It does have some green. My wife told me that last night. I don't see light shades of green to well.
    Well honestly it's what my wife likes and dislikes is the most important. If I want to keep getting stuff. I just try to show her things I like and make her think its her idea.
    She actually told me last night that she is real happy with the way everything looks and wants to get more corals. That's the green light. Tomorrow is pay day and might have some new corals soon. That is if all the bills get paid. Lol.

    So I was showing my wife all kinds of corals and she was excited and like mostly all I showed her. Then I said something she didn't like. I said "I'm glad you like them, I'm just trying to figure out what kind I'm going to get you for Mother's Day." I guess that wasn't funny. She was not amused and the look on her face was priceless. I immediately told her I was joking.
    Just wanted to share.

    Looks great. i've gotten to the point I don't even use cutters anymore. I just reach in, break a frag off and glue it....

    Yea, my first time cutting. I used bone cutters I had in my medic kit. I was expecting it to be a lot jaeger to cut but it was real easy. Almost just broke off.
    Thanks Daniel.

    Marshall- Careful!

    I actually think your corals rock. IMO i wouldnt trade any of them just balance the look of the tank. Put the three larger corals as show pieces spread out in the middle and work around them as opposed to just having them draw the focus to the right side of the tank. It takes a long time to have them be so full and look so amazing. It also Looks as if the hammer is in a couple pieces so put one of those on either end of the tank to balance color and just accentuate with SPS. Your tank rocks. Well. Done. Keep the pictures coming. I to love to see growth pics. Sorry for the book I just wrote. Ha

    Don't be sorry. I like comments like that. Thank you for the compliment and the advise. I really like that idea and think that is what I will do. The hammers are indeed multiple pieces. All came off the same branch but broke apart in the transfer. Imaging how big it would be if it was all one. (Bummed). I can actually move the larger corals around and I think that would be nice.
    I didn't realize it till you said it but they do draw your attention to the right.
    Thank you again and I will keep the pics coming. Haven't been able to get to it since I've been busy with my reactor and work. Soon...
