and some of my zoa's
nothing special

recently put in a purple rim monti cap frag and pink birdsnest from a fellow reefer. Birdsnest was browned out a bit but showing potential of coloring back up. Wish me luck as I take the step into SPS! Thanks to all who has passed on frags!

I really like it! Although, I like the first pic, as well.

Thanks Kannin! The first pic to me didnt look too natural and looks like more swimming space but pic 2 has just as much swiiming room...just cant tell from the pic.

Is the big rock on the right side attached in any way?

The right side structure was drilled and supported with 1/2'' acrylic rod. I will be changing it to fiberglass rod in the future for more stability.

Left side was also drilled but decided to just stack it when i re-did aquascape.
