rotfl.gif It will be coming off next week. Why did you want to know the space between the wall and the tank?

Thanks! I found a place with cheap frags and I'm going to be placing an order when I get paid next week. I might spring for my showpiece coral.

Lookin' a lot better. Once that background comes off, it will start to look really good. Can't wait to see what frags you've chosen and what your centerpiece coral will be...

tank looks good its time IMO to get some good coriline growing.
 

I would also add some more rock to the left side making that side higher to break up the rather level look of the rockwork

I want to start getting into SPS and more "designer" zoas and acans. I want more color and pop to the tank. I'm still on the hunt for my showpiece. I haven't figured that out.

Acans can be great!

 

SPS is such a pita imoe....i can keep it in one tank but not in the other! Grrrr

waste of money imo lol

 

Getting a nice size zoo/paly colony can be just as good too!

Some leathers are okay too...ive got a small tyree leather that has nice green polyps!

Sometimes i wish i didnt live so far away from u pps....! wave.gif

If I were to guess, IMOE = In My Own Experience.

 

 

What would be some good starter SPS to add color?

Any montipora capricornis is good. Montipora digitata is also a good starter SPS coral. Pink Pocilliopora does well. Also pink birds nest is a good starter coral and grows like crazy. Any pocilliopora will do well too.

Milipora is also a good starter SPS IME. I really enjoy SPS corals, lol. All it takes is clean, stable water and a lot of light, flow and coral food. :D
