you thought i forgot the FTS, didn't you...

 

Very nice!

That galaxy though you should move away from the other corals they put out sweeper tenticals that will sting other corals. I started out with a frag just like that and it has grown to a baseball size. Unfortunately it killed some of my button polyps so I had to move it to an area by itself.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

 

thanks for the heads up. i actually put it there to ward off my gsp, but i guess i'll have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't sting my favias. do you target feed yours or do you just let it fend for itself?

 

When I first got it I was target feeding it, I haven't in 6 months and it is doubled in size.
If you want you can but it will do good if you don't also.

 

looking good,
I like the boat

 

yea boat really ties the tank together!! ;D

 

Agreed on the boat. It's like the tuxedo shirt of the aquarium. It lets whoever is looking at the tank know, "Hey this tank is serious, but also here to party."

 

love it..How deep is your tank. Love how it is built up. Corals look great love the Galaxia

 

thanks guys! i've gotten mixed reviews about the boat. the people who don't like it say that it's cheesy but i say then that's more of a reason to throw it in there! no matter how much sweat and blood you invest in a hobby, you can't stop having fun!

the tank's 31inches, the top of the rock is about 24. i couldn't go any higher without an avalanche, but i like it alright

 

Great looking corals and scape, sweet boat
