Very impressive, thanks for sharing

I've been reading through your build today & being that this is my 1st year in the hobby I'd say that growth is awesome. I've had sps for the last 6 months in my tank that haven't grown that much. Although with the addition of a profilux things have definately started to take off in the last 2.5 months. I just upgraded to a 150 gal for my future build in the basement & will likely use your build as a guide for success with an sps dominant system.

I am humbled as I think that there are tons of tanks out there that are of higher calibre on canreef. Thank you.

Anyway, here's a full tank shot from my cell phone yesterday. I only took one from the living room side.

Just took a couple of quick pics tonight. Some updates as of late:

1. New frag tank (Just wanted one with an external overflow box). It's the same size. I did it cause I have connections to glass.

2. I have now switched to LED lighting. Just some cheap ebay brand ones. So the halides are officially down now and I'm gonna give these LEDs 6 months before I sell my halides. This saved me close to 400 watts. I went from 3 x 250 watt pendants to 3 x 120 watt LED pendants. We'll see, only time will tell.

Anyway, here are a few pics.

Pink Milli - Started from a 2" brown smooth frag
http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1302149883

Started from a white almost dead 1" frag
http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1302149920

Teal Acro - Started from a sickly smooth pale frag infested with red bugs (I didn't know it at the time - it is now the size of a cantelope)
http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1302149995

That Red Convexa at the bottom left of this picture was started from a tiny 1/2" frag from Snappy - it is now about 6" around

Tough to get the colour right, this is way too blue.

This pineapple express was originally from Lobsterboy, started out as a 1.5" frag.

Saltynuts frag - started out as 1.5" brown frag. It is about the size of a cantelope as well, slightly taller than wide as I've been keeping its width in check.

This is one of my frag tanks. The other is just as crowded.
