    I'll have some new photos up soon, I loaded up this wknd in Seattle at the Seamax exhibit. Gotta say that was coral heaven, I had to get out of there before I left with corals and no money left to my name.

    Thanks Kjr! That means a lot coming from you and also thanks for the help you've given me along the way. The tank wouldn't be anything without the help and direction i've gotten through this thread. I really couldn't be happier with it and have no regrets. And I can't wait to look at it a year...

    Thanks Gemmy I gotta say I'm pretty addicted to it haha. Always makes you feel good when everything is thriving! Plus i've managed to grow a lot more corals/clams than I'd anticipated. Definitely glad I stayed away from the large angles.
