I just picked up on this thread today after someone had asked me if I'd been following along with your progress. I know I will now. This is a very impressive set up you have and will I'm sure become an equally impressive reef. Well done and good luck. Thanks for sharing.

The rock is from Tampa Bay Saltwater... www.tbsaltwater.com

The rock is packed in water for the entire trip. As for how the gorgonians made the trip, I would attribute that to good packaging, flexibility and an overall short travel time.

Default A fish!

I could stand it no longer...I've added a fish. Here is the first fish in the 400 - a Blonde Naso Tang. He (?) has been happily grazing on the plentiful macroalgae and is very adept at removing the grapes from the grape caulerpa.

This is actually a view from the back of the tank. It does provide a first look at where I'm headed with the rockwork.



He's about 5-6" long. I thought that was pretty big until I put him in the tank. He looks pretty small in there.

Default rock

I have to say that is the "liveliest" live rock I have ever seen. Quite amazing. Really!!! I'm so used to the local, almost barren live rock you get here.
