It's going to be a mixed reef, with a focus on SPS and Zoas

Thanks Lando, I'll have to stop in one of these days when it's time to start stocking this thing.

LOL, a bommie is a rock outcropping covered in corals. They usually occur on a flat sandy area, sort of like a small hill on a flatland. Tony has one in his tank for his anemone I think.




Love those columns, wish I had the patience to do that

[Delphinus]

Yeah "coral bommie" == basically a column rock structure on a reef. (Basically what you have there!)

Here's another:

Nice job on the rock; it looks to be plenty stable.

Seems to be so far, it has one of the discharges from my closed loop pointing directly at it and it doesn't move at all. I'm happy with how stable it is.

Final aquascaping



I'm about ready to slowly start adding some corals to the tank..anyone know a good source for zoas on-line these days?

[JDigital]

That aquascape looks pretty cool...

Have you had much time to play around with your Apex controller? got a review for us (me) .. Is it worth the extra money of an Aquacontroller Jr/3?

I love it, I would buy it again in a heart beat, but I'll hold off on the full review until I've got the entire tank plugged into it and programed.

On a side note, a few impulse buys

I'm a big fan of the pillar on the left side, and your impulse buys! I love how this is coming together so nicely.
