Looks awesome Jason. So were you not liking the old aquascape/just wanting to switch it up? I can see the way you have it now definitely has more room for nice big colonies to grow

Whew, just about missed your big hammer coral in there, hiding behind the foxface. Glad to see its ok.

Hey, just wondering...is that "post crash" algae on the wall with the overflow on it? I have that same crappy algae growing all over the glass in my tank. I only ever see it after a major event and its a bitch to get rid of.

Ya a ton more open. You can't really tell the depth in the photo. so far I like it

I'm planning to go with a more mixed reef rather than just SPS so I think this will work out well

I've had that algae for a while, It's red and fuzzy but really short. It drives me crazy.

Now thats what I call more room.

Looks great.

Did the drilling and dowelling work?

I did a bit of drilling and using the dowels but I use cable ties for a lot of it

I've got some of that stuff too. Really hard to get rid of. I'm liking the new aquascape though. Lots of room for some huge colonies. Get growing!
