Ok apparently I have not had enough yet today as I'm about to make another grouchy-like post in response to something that's supposed to be nice..

It's a very nice tank, but what is WITH these tanks that are so packed with corals that the only spots left for clams is in the sandbed in a nice little row up in front? It looks so contrived to me. Might as well put up some picket fences while we're at it!

Can't fault the setup for growing nice coloured corals, it's awesome. I just wish people with tanks like these would do a better job at recreating a more natural looking aquascape.

It is pretty amazing! But I agree with Tony. It looks to me like a garden. A very nice garden....but a garden nonetheless. I suppose that's the look some people enjoy, and that's great for them.

Edit/Side note: Greg, I think yours looks more natural.

Well .. at least they're not in a perfect uniform row. I thought you also had one or two up higher in the rock.

So Tony what corals should I take out to make room for the clams? Usually when I put them up high they jump off.

I agree nice tank- but I think it would benefit from some different shaped corals, especially stags.

I couldn't agree more, you definitely need more coffee.
As for the tank it looks pretty nice to me.
