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.

This is the best I can do. I lost my camera

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...

 

[florida joe]

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.

 

[1guydude]

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....!

 

[snakeblitz33]

SPS a pain and waste of money? Hmmm...
Oh, just curious, what is IMOE mean?

If I were to guess, IMOE = In My Own Experience.
What would be some good starter SPS to add color?

 

[snakeblitz33]

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.

 

[1guydude]

ya im keeping now millipora's, pocllipora's, and a monti.... ive gone through acros and birdsnests....just really teadious coral! All im sayin....just venting a lil earlier lol

 

[snakeblitz33]

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.

Here is my tank when I started it. It has come a long way.

 

[travelerjp98]

I like the original rock work a lot.... but.. it has come a long way
