Default Major photo update!!

I guess the reef is now two years old! Wow.

Anyhow, so over the holiday break, Kien and I traded some frags. He was kind enough to bring his camera with him and snap a couple photos. I'm so glad he did, I swear the guy is magic, I look at these photos and can hardly believe they are of my tank.

To start with, a couple FTS.. (please don't mind the masking tape, I'm still painting the basement.. Also the water is sort of cloudy in some of the pictures because my kid really wanted to feed the fish a clam from T&T while this was all happening, so there was a feeding frenzy in the front corner for a bit there..)

Anyhow with no further ado ... PICTURES!!

Front view..





Corner view.. I love this angle..


And from the side looking down the long way .. I also really love looking in at this angle:


And, one thing that struck me lately in my own attempts in FTS lately (all of which have failed so far, it's a rather challenging tank to take a good FTS on) is that in my attempt to aquascape "differently and interestingly", I created a downwards slope of the base reef. I may, in fact, take it on as a project later this year to rescape it a little so that it builds up as you go further back). Anyhow, the bottom line is that you get a more interesting FTS view if you look from high up and aim downwards. Check it out:



And some scene shots of the various bommies in the tank:
