Thanks for the update, great pics. What camera are you using?

[MKLKT]

Just my phone actually, Samsung Focus. I need to get a new dedicated camera one of these days.

Fall update!

I've got two racks with a big mix of SPS frags growing on both sides, so far it's been very successful. Looking back at my first picture I can't believe how massive my centrepiece sinularia and toadstool got. I'll be fragging both of those very soon. I'm going to be re-scaping and tearing out almost all of the Anthelia to make space for other stuff, I'll leave a patch for the 2 hosting porcelain crabs. 4 of the damsels and the chromis are going to be given to a friend so I can focus more on SPS going forward, I'll probably add a small goby to replace them.

Hardware wise I switched over to powerchrome bulbs and in a bluer spectrum to see how it goes, I like it so far. Had a whole lot of fun when I accidentally pulled an overflow hose out of the sleeve and dumped a few gallons on the floor. Upgraded the skimmer to a CL125 and had a whole host of problems as the larger pump drained the baffle in the sump too quickly; I've since modified it to recirculate and it's running effectively again. I have a Bullet II but haven't decided if I want to use it on this tank.

Pictures:

Full tank, the sinularia and toadstool when viewed from above are about 1' in diameter each, they touch but get along fine.

that is one very well put together tank. It already looks great as a mature softie forest, it will be really cool to see how it evolves as an SPS tank.
