That pocillopora grows pretty good in my tank too. When you gave it to me it was smaller than a penny. Now it's about 4" across. The pocci Marie gave me is doing real well also. Must be the P.R. air

Tank was purchased at the local pet shop (Animal World) I think I got a pretty good deal on it, can't say for sure what I paid as my wife sometimes reads these posts

I try to look at the cost as an investment over time, I think if you break it down far enough over the 18 years I've been doing this it's only $0.16 an hour. Thats pretty cheap for a hobby these days right?

Couple more pics
As you walk into the back room, you get to really see the depth (36") Looking thru the back of the tank (I cover the back of the tank with black fabric) Looking thru the front (starfire glass) with the back curtain off you can clearly see the skimmer and reactor that is three feet behind the tank Horn coral that has grown from a 1" frag over the past 8 months Coral Banded Shrimp "Claws" Dime size Pocillipora (note the purple tips, new growth), these grow to the size of golf balls in about 6 months (anybody want some, I gots lots!) Green plate corals, I had one and the toadstool shed its mucus that landed on it which killed it, I never removed the skeleton and about three months later noticed tiny little green spots, there is now approx 20 new discs ranging in size from 1/8" to about 1 1/2" The center piece of the tank, my 15 year old bubble coral |

Very nice Dave. Did you have any heat issues with the warm autumn weather we had? Or are the fans in the light fixture enough to keep temp down.
