    Thanks for the compliments. I spent a few hours last night re arranging rocks and corals on one end of the tank, so now I need to take and post some updated pics.

    I took some newer pics today.

    It's come along nicely since I transferred the 90g over to in in early October.

    What amazes me most about you tank, is that you had most of that in a 90.

    You have some awesome pieces there. It ended up a very nice piece of wood.



    What brand is your frag rack??

    Thanks:)

    I put a lot of work into it:)

    I am happy I got my photo bomb in there before I had the picture police knocking on my door. ;D

    I have added a lot since the tank swap, but I did have the 90g very packed.

    My sps has gone totally ape in the last couple of weeks.

    I think it is a pretty cool piece of epoxy coated wood too:)

    brand of frag rack... hmm, It was my design, I drilled 2 holes in a piece of egg crate and used the magnetic holders (mag clips) keep the rack on. I simply cut the large clip attachment off of the non magnet end, and used that to screw into the mag clip, thereby attaching the frag rack to the mag clip.

    I know other folks like the design because others in my local club have copied my idea:)

    I still am not done, I have a lot to do as far as finishing the tank aesthetically. plus I will probably be selling a few frags and one of my giant green birdsnest colonies because I don't need 2 colonies of the same stuff.

    All of my acans and my pink/ red challice are not in the tank because they were not happy with the alk issues I was having.

    I see my wall hammer is growing well now, so I think I can get my acans back from my friends tank.

    I also will be getting a few more ORA things in February, hopefully more clams. 3 clams is not enough IMHO. What amazes me is how much my derasa has grown in the past few months. It has grown a good 1.25" since I got it.
