Well a bit of an update...I had a carbon mishap last week and what a mess it was! The carbon in the carbon chamber of my ozone reactor leaked and within a few hours everything in the tank was very black Not a lot of carbon escaped the sump but it did create a black film over everything in the display.

I was pretty heartbroken to have to take all my aquascaping apart and clean every rock, coral and even fish! Anyways after 10 hours of work, everything was clean, happy and back in the tank...except me. I hated the new aquascape but it has grown on me. Here's the pics...Let me know what you all think! Better? Worse? Same???

Really need some more corals to fill it in a bit (not too much though, I am not a fan of the crammed look)

I have had a lot of responses to my looking for softies ad in the selling forum and it looks like by this weekend I will have a few more corals! Im really wanting to add some more colt corals to the right side to tie it all together. I want Colts to be the main focus of the tank. Lower in the tank I would like to add a bunch of mushrooms and maybe rics. We will see! Any suggestions are very welcome.

New layout works for me.

As for macro, have you tried Halimeda? It's green but grows fast and big.

I did try halimeda but it died over time. Not too sure why. Calcium and magnesium levels were good, so it should have been happy but it just didn't work out. Too bad because I really like the look of it. I may try it again though sometime.

Im really debating some gorgonians but it seems that the success rate in aquariums is not great so I may pass on them. I really think they would fit in well though.

Great looking setup Justin!

There are plenty of photosynthetic gorgonians which are (in my opinion) almost as nice, equally as nice, and in some cases more nice, as the non-photosynthetic gorgonians. I think some gorgonians would look wicked in that setup.
