Well Dez, as I'm mending my broken bones on light duty at work (VERY SLOW DAYS) I finally decided to read through this build thread as I've been meaning to for ages. Truly amazing! I sat shaking my head from the first growth sequence post on wondering what I need to do to even come close!! lol. Amazing build my friend! Keep up the good work! Oh, and keep growing out that Teal Acro buddy!!

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


Started from a white almost dead 1" frag


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)


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.
