Paul "inspector" helped me out with the aquascaping...I think we managed to make alot of gaps and caves/overhangs with 170 lbs of rock...my fishes are loving the extra space!

Looks Great Mike. I see that Monster Leather doesn't seem as dominate in the new tank.

Great work

Looks good mike... I see the armchair leather is happy :)

The toadstool is doing great. He pretty much takes up 1/3 of the tank, and the two clowns live in inside the cup of the leather! My anenome has doubled in size but I dont think these clowns know what it is! I have air coming in on one of my joints on the return...that is my project today!

I like the color of stain...but I doubted myself after the first coat, I am used to seeing Oak with a light stain...most of our wood is dark in the living room, I couldnt have them clash! Ha Ha

Forgot to ask...Where you have it mounted. Do you have lots of flow,medium or low? I am asking cause I am getting a monster like that this week.

There is quite a bit of flow on him. I have a Tunze stream 1600gph on the opposite side of the tank 5ft away facing him, and another sream 6000 (650-1800gph) above him...it creates alot of polyp movement and sway, I find it likes the flow, but you will be able to tell if there is too much flow by the expansion of the tips of the polyps-they stay small. My toadstool forms a cup in the middle, If my flow is too low I get a build up of whatever they shed!

Go to the first post in the pictures category and it explains it step by step...The IMG portion I just type in...good luck

I bought the leather off of someone who was getting out of the addiction! I have had the toadstool for approx. 15 months and it has easily tripled in size! I though I better leave an area for him 2ftx2ft....time will tell if thats enough space! He hovers on an average of 14 inches diameter...he has reached close to 19 inches D at times!
