Ok so here's an update of all that has been going on recently:
My mixed Reef is really becoming a total addiction as the days progress. This weekend I will be building a Sump/Fuge for my little 29g.
And now i'm considering a 240g to replace it....... Big jump? Oh Well?
Crack is good.
So i got my shipment from zanclus all the way from NYC. I took some Pics of them also....... the first set are my shipment.... The rest..... WELL THAT IS MY CRACK ADDICTION.
Enjoy and comments are always welcome...... Thank you.

Not sure if you mentioned this already, but How did you get that rock to look so cool? With the big ledge like that?? Awesome tank man!

There is no glue or epoxy..... Its just a big rock, that I placed on top of 2 other rocks wheich are pretty much buried. the I dropped a few other rocks on the back of the big rock.
Its a very big rock. I guess when i was picking them it stood out and said pick me.
Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks Logan.
The filtration I got setup is, a modded Skilter Filter which I took apart and stuffed it with Cheato.....
I have a Coralife Super Skimmer 65 HOB ( I overskim)
And 45-50 Pounds of LR then about 30 pounds of LS. and 24x turnover.
I'm adding a sump/fuge this weekend.......... Can't wait.

Look very nice Coolguy. I am glad the frags are doing well. They all are fast growers so you should have nice colonys in about a year!!!
