Well.....Im giving up the frogspawn

....man, I never thought that I would become sooooooo attached to a coral, but this was one of the hardest decisions Ive had to make with the tank. Im hopeful that buddy keeps his word and doesnt frag the piece up. So here are a round of pics that will be the last shots of the tank avec gargantuspawn.

Photo tip: Shorten your exposure from what you had, and those pics would represent the tank but more accurately.. (could also make the f/stop smaller instead... ie: f/3.5 to f/7.1)

Tank looks good though... gonna be sad to see that frogspawn go though.

Looks awesome! Really looks like some amazing growth! You're sure those blastos are happy eh??

Kidding. So sad to see the frogspawn going! You'll have to fill it with an equally impressive piece!!!!! Ooo that sorta sounds fun! And the hunt is on....

Thanks everybody! So its gone....buddy came last night and took it home....There is now a huge void in the tank that I spent the better part of the evening staring at

....Being that gargantuspawn was such a focal point of the tank Im thinking that I need to do something really cool with the rock work where he used to live. Im gonna pick through the LR at work today to see if I can find a couple pieces to make what I have in mind, come to life. That coral had some serious weight to it...like a couple pounds, easy. I did a quick and rough count of the heads while it was un-happy and there was easily 40-50. I miss it already

Last time I checked, my manfrags were still there.

Believe me....I would love to upgrade but there are too many reasons why I cant....money, space and the fact that we rent means that whatever tank I have needs to be somewhat portable, so anything bigger than this would be a major undertaking to move. Excuses, excuses....I know....I will take a few new fts pics once I am happy with how the reno goes. Gonna sound geeky but...live long and prosper Gargantuspawn.
