I only say crammed because usually you see these tanks take forever to build. IE weeks or months even. The 'scape is great, I personally wouldn't change a thing.

And I think you'll LOVE BB...with the exception of the goby nano...I dont' think I'll set up another tank that isn't BB...

Would love to see a closeup picture of that red/green brain just to the right of centre? What is it?

Its a lobophyllia from the Makassar area of the Indo Pacific. I'll post a pic when I get a chance later today. I really like it. Was in rough shape when I got it but is doing well now. Hand fed it for weeks until it rebounded. Puts out tentacles 1" long from the red folds at night.

Thanks Jason. Your tank has always been an inspiration for me.

Was just kidding! LOL What do you see as the advantages of BB? It's growing on me. Easy to keep clean for sure.

I like the options it gives me for high flow without having the constant sand storms. Also I've found it easier to controll nutrients (or lack thereof) and since moving to BB and changing salts, my corals are growing faster and seem to be brighter. Not sure if it's just their time to get fantastic or if it was because of the changes...but it's working for me, so I'll keep at it!

Love the sound of that! Won't miss the sand storms and am trying to run ULNS.

I am really happy with all the open space. Fish are behaving quite differently with more room.
