that is either a confusa or horrida? Its 1 of my favorites. I'm gonna take some top down shots of the tank, that coral has grown to about 7 inches across.
Its all coming down in the next couple of weeks anyways so I guess I'll enjoy it while I can.

Frags anyone?

I wish I had my tank set up...

Your build is looking pretty damn good!

there is just something about the 72 gallon bowfront that makes a really nice reef.
How your first one was never TOTM is beyond me.

A little harder to scape with only 16" at the sides but you really did a great job on the new new.


Looking awesome.

Just curious though, why did you axe the sand on round 2?

I just had a bit of a crash and am considering what changes to make.

I got rid of the sand because I was tired of not being able to clean the glass all the way down to the bottom. Also I wanted more flow and I didnt like the way the sand kept getting blown around, and now the detritus is so easy to remove.

The 72 bow only has 11 inches on the sides, 18 inches in the middle, making it a little tough to aquascape.

Doesnt matter though, its all coming down in the next few weeks anyways.
