I have no idea what it looked like before but I love how it looks now. That Kein dude sure sounds like a helpful guy. Wish I could be as cool as him. Anyway, well done!

Looks precarious and cool! I used to see builds at this stage with all the 2-3 branch frags and think 'man that looks bare'.

Now I've got the single branch frags (true sticks!) and I'm envious haha!

Thanks. The picture was taken using a Nikon D90 with a large external flash, (which is the only way I can figure out how to get the good picture colour). The tank has a Solaris LED G series and a 4 bulb T5.

I love arches in aquascaping.I just finished aquascaping my friend's 220g Reef-ready. Only spent an hour & a half, but that's cause I didn't have to worry about frags (newly set up fowlr). Didn't use acrylic rods though. I'm guessing you had a lot of drilling to do to get the rods in place.And yes, that Blonde Naso is spectacular!!!!

Yeah, if you have a chance you should meet 'Kein'. Great guy, nice tanks and an excellant speller. You could learn a thing or two from him.

I love the arches looks great, and if your Naso gets to big for your tank feel free to send him my way as I think he's beautiful
