Default My 180 Gallon Reef Paradise
I feel it time to post some pictures of my tank. SPS is now growing, NOT RTN'ing... Coral is happy and so am I. Here are a few shots of my tank and some of the coral... more to come!

I don't know what it is called the yellow cup coral you have in the middle of your tank ... but I really like it. Hope I can find a frag of it locally here one day for my tank.

Thank you fishytime, I have never seen this scroll coral in person. It really stands out compared to the monties, hope I can find one for my tank.

Yup, it is basketball size. You cant even see the different one behind it due to its size.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I havent been happy with things until recent. Will post more pics of coral and fish soon.

How are you keeping the rocks so purple and have no red algae on the rocks. Love the tank buddy looking sweet

I am cursed by it... So much coraline, hence the reason for 6 urchins to help control it. I have done nothing to induce its growth.

Thanks again.
