Gorgeous Japanese SPS Reef

This tank has very thin HDPE installed which I understand is prone to warping...

You can also let coralline grow on it...

Kool, thanks for the info
As a cutting board, it would have come to mind right away, but in a tank it never crossed my mind

[Myka]

Haha, funny how that happens sometimes, eh?

Mindy, Do you have many tabling sps to mimic that first pic? I've found that tabling acros are hard to come by. Half the time you won't know what shape the coral will take in your tank over time.

The only tabling acro I have came from Bignose. We traded 1" frags and he gave it to me as a purple mili. I mounted it on a golf tee and now it looks like a colourful fuzzy pancake.

Also my super grape mili from Snappy took on a tabling form. However, I don't think that Snappy's was ever tabling. It is about 1 1/2" tall and tabling out to about a 6" diameter.

No I don't have a tonne of tabling Acros, I will have to develop a new obsession. My A caroliniana tables pretty well, an A deswalli, and my Supergrape Milli tables too. Lots of Millis will table, and I have a few that are looking promising. That's a good start.

[Myka]

I think also that sometimes A hyacinthus and A Prostrata are misidentified as A Millepora which is why sometimes "Milles" will table.

EDIT: Above I have a typo, I meant A desalwii.

[Sebae again]

I have had some success with getting acros to table by mounting the frags horizontally instead of vertically especially over an overhang where there is more flow.
