Default My 175gal bowfront: updated pics July 29

Well I've had this tank going since Feb '08 and haven't really posted many pics, so maybe this is better late than never. I started into the SPS back with Snappy's Christmas sale and haven't looked back, slowly turning my tank into less softies and more SPS. Here's a few tank and coral shots. Almost all my SPS are frags, as it's much cheaper this way!

Full tank

Added quite a few corals and a rock in the upper left side. Thought I'd share some new pics and some SPS growth shots.

Anyone know what the shaggy stag on the right is? Got it from Lawrence. (I think I need Josh or someone else to come take some pics so we can actually get a good shot of some things. lol

And my new true percs from Lawrence. Thanks Lawrence! Love them...

Here's my red margined fairy wrasse from Red Coral. Can't for the life of me get a clear shot. He won't ever stay still for me.

Here's my leopard wrasse. Had him for well over a year now. Same thing, won't sit still enough for my bad photo skills to get a clear shot.
