As promised here's a few new pics.
I spent several hours on saturday cleaning up the frag tank. The way I had it setup before with the egg crate an inch over the bottom collected a lot of detritus on the bottom. I siphoned out all of that and raised the egg crate up.




A few frags that I picked out from underneath the egg crate and floating around the tank while cleaning. Haven't had time to mount them yet.

I found this nice sized colony of blue cespitularia at a LFS for 25 bucks last weekend. They said it's xenia, which is right so I'm not complaining. :)

Red carpet and fire clown in the back

And a few from the display tank...



This is my newest fungia that I actually got from the EIBI section here at swf.com. I think it's similar to the fungia pictured on the cover of Anthony Calfo's new coral propagation book.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
kaingers, my frag tank is a custom made 20 gallon. I think the dimensions are about 45x13x10 or so.
T316, sorry I omitted the FTS of my display on purpose.
There's a few spots of hair algae and cyanobacteria I'm not too fond of. I actually like my frag tank more lol.

Understood

I was just admiring those blue poylps, or zoos, and was trying to see how they fit into the big picture. Very nice and colorful though.

Veni, yup that's my colony of ORA duncans. I got my frag in the summer of '06 and it's now gotta be over 50 polyps or so. I haven't counted in a while. I've fragged it many times, too.
T316, if I can get the display cleaned up good I'll post a fts.

nice frag tank and frags

I'm setting up a 95 gal. frag tank and I plan to have the egg crate set up kinda like what you have, I was wondering, what do you do to keep some flow under the egg crate? do you keep PH's underneath for water movement?

On the frag tank I have 2x150W Phoenix bulbs and on my display I have a single 250W Phoenix bulb. I do both sell and trade.
ameno, I just have a maxijet 900 with a sure flow 1600 mod. It creates almost too much flow for the tank but at least it keeps the detritus off the bottom now.
