    NICE tank!
    Wonderful assortment of Acropora, Pocillipora and Montipora especially. What are you using for lighting? And protein skimmer?
    I have two questions about the corals fastened to the back and side of your tank, Right now they are small enough and offer a nice backdrop/almost like a ledge and they hide the glass nicely especially as they grow and spread. That brings me to my first question-As your corals grow and get bigger, how do you plan on eliminating the chemical warfare that will be inevitable? Plus your corals won't have enough room for growth.
    Second question, how are you adhereing your corals to the glass?
    Best of luck with your tank and WELCOME to 3reef. You will be glad you decided to join our happy family of reef addicts!

    Thanks !

    Answers to your questions:

    "What are you using for lighting?"

    4-54 Watt T-5's and (02) 10" Solartubes (Natural Sunlight)

    And protein skimmer?

    Deltec AP600

    "As your corals grow and get bigger, how do you plan on eliminating the chemical warfare that will be inevitable?

    I can move the corals as they grow very easily as all f them are attached with magnetic frag plugs

    Second question, how are you adhereing your corals to the glass?

    I am using a magnetic frag plug, The Frag-Mag by Aqua-Mags. Aqua-Mags They have opened up a ton of real estate in my reef and allow me to move my SPS away from my softies and Huge LT Anemone :)

    Nice!
    Those are cool...I will have to get me some of those for areas of my tank I would like to hide...also, with some of my plate Montipora-those would be mint to have to allow them to grow.
    Thanks for the frag-plug info...!

    Solar Tubes! Cool. I haven't seen an aquarium with those in a while. Were those much trouble to install?

    GREAT looking corals! 8)

    Deltec skimmer too. Wow what a setup.

    And the magnetic coral mounts look like something for the 3reef radar. Thanks for sharing and joining 3reef!

    The tubes were very easy to install, and I am not a roofer, just a reefer :)

    Here are a few more pics

    I love the frag-mags and I certainly love my Deltec Skimmer.

    Wow! Very nice. 8)

    I look forward to seeing pics of this tank as the corals start taking off.

    You should join the 3reef YouTube Group - link in my sig in my first post above for info - and as you make more videos you can post them directly in the posts here at 3reef.

    Great tank kid.
