    Here's a recent fts that I took this evening of my tank, almost 2 years old. As you can see it's pretty full up on corals. Just need a dendro to complete my list of corals to get. I'm gonna have to move some things around pretty soon as the torch I got not too long ago from Rock N Reef has proven to be a lot bigger than initially anticipated. Tell me what you guys think.

    Thanks! It is one of my favorite pieces and is almost 6 heads now. I want to watch it keep growing but my gf wants me to frag a piece or two off and try and sell it.

    Tank looks awesome, full and real natural. I would advise against fragging the Frog Spawn. It seems to be nestled in the rock and doing fine, I wouldn't disturb it or the tank. If in the future it developed a problem (God forbid) and you needed to frag off the problem head, then I would frag a good head off.

    Actually, the frogspawn isn't secured down in any way, just it's own weight is keeping it from going anywhere. Being in college I've decided not to permanently secure corals to most of my base rock but rather smaller pieces of rubble rock that way when the inevitable move away from college comes it's easier to take the tank down and move it.

    Oh, I wasn't clear enough. Nestled just means positioned in a comfortable surrounding or area. It is "happy" "nestled" in that area. It like the flow, light etc. To disrupt it, I think, is ill-advised, that's all I meant. It is thriving so I would leave it alone. I have one about that size and it is placed on an odd angle (facing toward the front of the tank) and rather high up in the tank, many would say to move it. It seems to like it there however and is doing great so I leave it alone. Keep up the good work on the aquarium, whatever you're doing....don't change!!

    Ok, I don't really plan on fragging it any time soon unless it gets too uncontrollably large. The only thing I don't like about my tank is the sand bed. The grains of sand are apparently just the right size to allow that dark red coralline to grow. It makes my sand bed look like it's covered in red slime.
