Thanks!!! I am thinking of adding a couple more shelves to it ... but overall the structure is nice and sturdy ... but nothing is just clumped together!

Hey there, Just saw your posts ... haven't been around much lately. I use epoxy for most of the frags ... no need on larger colonies ... they are encrusted on to the rocks ... lol. Occasionally my Long Spine Urchin will knock the small ones over but that's not been too much of a problem. I didn't epoxy the rocks ... never done that in 16 years of reef keeping, sometimes I think I should have, but what can you do now?
