Very nice! That's enough footprint for a lot of polyps!

I'm sure as most can attest I'm pretty bad for getting frags cut , I'm a little too addicted to share haha! No photos tonight unfortunately, just got home and the lights are already almost off. I will get a whole whack load of them up hopefully by the weekend.

You must have to clean that tank very very slowly/carefully. I noticed that the water line looks pretty high and there is no eurobracing.
When it was first set it up I was a little scared of exactly that, ends up not being all that bad and with the lack of bioload I rarely have to clean the glass. I thought the waterline would sit about an inch off the glass but its much closer to a cm .

Polyps GALOORREE!
Instead of a sand bed or bare bottom I purchased quite a few tumbled marble tiles, should look really good when the zoas start growing on it not to mention it should make for much easier fragging.

Thats a cool idea for the bottom having tiles there. How do you like your skimmer so far? I just orded the CSC 250 but havent gotten around to putting it in the tank yet

Subscribed! I want to be the first to know when you start fragging this system! Calgary's LFS's have been getting too much of my aquarium budget, it's time to send some your way...

So far I'm blown away @ the quality of it, the pump is practically silent and this was the foam product after just a few days. I have yet to tune it in yet, hoping to get it perfect this weekend.

I think its about time to invest in bear traps . Haha, actually though so far so good with this tank. Happy to have the angels and detritus sinks out, you know how zoas are though.

I know how you feel, I'm pretty sure I should be around 60-70k Concept Points @ the moment. Unfortunately Dave doesn't honor these imaginary tokens I keep claiming to have...

Just came home with a snazzy colony of Candy Apple Pinks tonight ! If I admit your first in line certain other parties might remove my limbs but I will see what I can do.

I love my CSC-250. Have had it running for over 2 months now and it is fantastic.
