Looks great, as always. I got my first batch of SPS corals a week ago, can't wait to see some growth. I'm going to give you a call for a frag pack next time you do some pruning.

mach03infront... lol u more than welcome to scrape some off yourself! luckily it grows mildly slow or else i would hate it....
dragonfly ur more than welcome to ask me questions if u ever have any
psusocr1... hey how have u been?? yeah im sure ull have ur new tank up and running in no time!
teen... the corals i lost were my purple pocci which had grown so much... i managed to save one small frag of it cuz all the other frags died too.... i had a purple haze encrusting monti RTN over a day and it had done very well... my tenuis is suffering really bad most tips are gone from it... my baby blue wild nobilis stag is dying off from the tips down.... from my experience in the past thats usually an alk issue so i have been messin with my levels to get them back in check all else is doing pretty well... some growth has slowed down but hopefully will pick back up when i get things leveld out again
azaintcold... let me know

OK, I've got to ask as nobody else will. What are you using to take those fantastic pictures? Beautiful tank.
