Tank is looking great Dez... I HAD a McCoskers in my tank, but I'm pretty sure my 6line stressed him to death.. He's been MIA for over a month now.. Sorry to hear about your Leopard.

Corals are looking awesome too!

That is pretty much the consences on all tanks that I have seen in person. Carmen's, sharuq1, globaldesigns and coleus's tanks all look so much better in person.

Thanks for the comments. Wow, sorry to have drained an hour of your life that you'll never get back I too can't believe that this whole process happened so fast. It's been less then 6 months since I've had rock/good salt water in the tank. Crazy.

It is too bad about the leopard. My mystery wrasse went MIA as well Sometimes it's just weird, a fish is fat and healthy, and then...just gone. My McCoskers is really bold and always in the open water "flashing". I really like him.

Thanks for the nice words. Hopefully you can use some of those ideas as that's what I've done with most of my build is to take ideas here and there and customize them

Maybe after 50 pages a quick summary and picture collage is needed to save time for future browsers? ... just a thought.

Well, just a few pictures here and there:

Here is a frag that I got on Oct 06, 09

This is a picture taken Jan 22, 10. Pretty good for 3 and a 1/2 months of growth. I rescued it just in time as it was pretty much touching both sides of the rock. If I had waited any longer, it would have been stuck there or I'd have to break it to get it out. I like the colour of it so I moved it so it can grow out more.


Here it is in the new location. You'll see it in a full tank shot later


This is a saltynuts frag that I got, picture taken Sept 22, 09


This is a picture taken today, so roughly 4 1/2 months of growth:


Here's a saltynuts birdsnest Sept 22, 09 (sorry - cell phone pic)


Picture today - 4 1/2 months growth


Birdsnest Frag (pic taken Oct 18, 09)


Picture taken today (Less than 4 months growth)


Pocci frag (pic taken Dec 22, 09)


Picture taken today (about 1 1/2 months growth)


More random pictures to follow. Thanks for looking.
