Update

I lost most of my frags.
But Im happy for the ones that made it.












...........

I really wasnt happy with my brightly colored stand. So I Painted it









To my suprise I was happy with the paint job



Then I looked around the room.
My walls were to distracting with red/white/blue .. WTF.
I have no clue what I was thinking. It looked stupid.








After a a day worth of painting we got something that dosent knock you out after entering the basement.









New paint smell = a ****ed off cat. I made it up to him with his new bed.


I needed a simple frag rack for the time being because im going to rescape the tank.

Looks great so far, if I could make a suggestion....add your frags and fish slowly. One to two fish at a time and the same with the frags. Imo a tank can be severely stressed when too much is added at once. I know it takes longer but your loss's will be less. After going through a major crash to what I am attributing to adding too much at once I will only add one or two at a time now.Good luck on your tank, will be watching for updates..

Cheers

I made a classic mistake of trying to aquascape with Rock..I realized now its not about making your Rock look good.

I had nowhere to place my sps. So I decided to rescape my tank for corals instead of rocks.

I got some dry rock from ;ecoreefer, Underwaterloo.

A quick dry run before it hits the tub for a few weeks.
