Very nice! I really like how you reworked your rock! You have gotten off to a good start!

Nice tank and aquascape. Looking good for just 6 months.

Alex T. · 04/29/2012, 06:16 PM

Very well done. I love the open space in the middle. It will give much more room for corals to grow into over time. Happy birthday!!!

That's a really beautiful tank. I gather it's mostly softies. I love how fast they grow. I have a tank that's a couple of months younger but mostly SPS and it doesn't look nearly that mature. Hopefully patience will pay dividends. Great job

very good looking, whatever youre doing...keep doing it!

Yep but there are a few small sps on the top rocks, that I just added of the past couple of weeks.

Thanks. It wasn't by choice I had a bulkhead start leaking and I had to break the whole tank down.

really good work +1 on the aquascaping love the new look. How do you keep your back wall so clean?

markaren · 04/30/2012, 05:21 AM

BEAUTIFUL!! As said...you are doing something right, so keep doing it!

I see some coraline on the side pane, but how do you keep your back glass pane so clean?

Great question. I have no idea. Very little Algae or Coralline Algae grows on my glass

lol that is the one thing in the tank that I have not been sure on since I redid it.

Thanks everyone. What I am most proud of is that 90% of the corals were originally frags from other hobbyist tanks.
