I added a few more.... but cant seem to get tank shot to size properly. I will add one later.

I must add I used my Pentax W90 for these shots and it does not capture the best quality.

When I get around to it... I will use a better camera and get some nicer shots.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Exclamation Tank Shot

So here is the initial rock work. I am going to change a few things as I am not completely happy. I ended up wit more rock than initially thought for the build.

Once I took it out of the other tanks I found I had trouble placing it in the manner I wanted. I really like the left side but the second mass on the right needs some arranging. There are not enough shelves for corals and the way I would like them. I am going to try make a cove of sorts to help shield my LPS.


I also found that by arranging the rocks so they are two masses eats up space quickly. I have swimming space on all sides and plan to put something like GSP on the backside to allow coral growth all around.

So anyways.... here is the recent tank shot (today). Give it some time to evolve! Let me know what you think!

I need to rearrange to make the spaces first off... but I do want a couple of wicked SPS pieces.

I am not a huge SPS person but would like some to add to the mixed reef feel.
