Here's where I started out...

Here's where I'm at now...

Of course, there's always things to iron out, but overall I'd say it's going pretty good.

Thanks everyone for the help along the way.

..off to the store getting Monti frags.

Very nice!

Funny thing with that one... I messed up when I glued him to the rocks.

I accidentally glued him upside down.

I wish I had made that mistake with the other monti's... I think that's the reason for his interesting shape.

Thanks.

Wow. You started out looking great and went uphill from there! Very nice. What kind of rock is that?

jamesbaur13 · 04/07/2013, 09:38 AM

around 40lbs of bulkreefsupply pukani. There are 2 rocks 5-10lbs in there in the center towards the back (right below the replendent anthias [the little pink guys] in the first pic) that is premium aquatics manado cured live rock.

Looks awesome! I just picked up the same tank on Craigslist recently and I'm in the process of cleaning and painting it. Yours is inspirational to get off my butt and get it running!

Thanks for the responses guys.

I wanted to upload this pic.

This coral has been a bit of a chore to get looking as good as he does now. I have been pulling him out of the tank and placing him in a tub for the last 2 months to get him to open and feed. Lately he's becoming more active in feeding and it is really starting to look sweet.
