Thank you guys!! I just finished pounding some lunch, and now I'm watching the Guerrero fight from last night. I fell asleep early :(

So far what a fight! When I'm done with this I will get to work on the scape. Going to entering this in the reef2reef nano contest!

This setup looks sexy next to that TV. You have another winner on your hands.

 

Thanks ark! Means a lot. Watching a sps tank grow out from half inch frags is tough! We all want beautiful colonies over night!...lol...this will hold me over and give me something to play with.

Got some work done today. If I'm not tired after lunch I'm going to mess with some dry rock. It's going to be tuff to do anything amazing in a small footprint like this, but maybe I can work some magic. Have to decide now if I want to sump it, or lily pipes. Almost feel bad drilling holes in it. The tank is so pretty.

 

Light out of the box. New array with the limes ;)

Thanks guys!

Been working on the rock work. My wife has a idea. It's not exactly what I would do, but I think I can pull it off. She wants to leave the tank bare bottom which I like! It looks super cool with that black glass underneath. She wants a island of acans, and then a bonsai structure. She likes movement in the tank so she wants the top of the bonsai to be some cool torches or gsp. Not a fan of the gsp idea, but I get what she wants. Something that actually looks like the top of a bonsai. Then on the rest of the branches and rockwork she wants chalices, cyphastrea, ect stuff that encrust with crazy color.

 

 

Anyone else have any cool ideas?

Alright got it wet! Scape is in. I convince my wife to go with something a little simpler. I am a huge fan of minimalist aquascapes. I like how it came out :)

Just have to get my mp10 in it now and call it done! I'm running this tank without mechanical filtration, and maybe even fishless. Worst case if I have problems I will throw a canister and lily pipes! I have decided no sump. I want this thing to be simple. Don't they say lps likes dirty water anyways ;)

 

Here's when I first scaped it before water. Thought it was a little too simple so I added a couple trails. Excuse the cloudy water!

made me cringed a bit....oh god I think I just threw up in my mouth after hitting quote and seeing it again....

 

 

On another note, tank looks great. I like the scape, do you think its enough rock for filtration as there is nothing else?

Which one you guys like more? Thinking of picking one of these up. Would be a cool look with lots of room to mount chalices and stuff :)

Would leave a nice open sand bed too.

I hope it is! Leaning towards a canister like we spoke about today.

Man I can't remember now. I ended up making my own structure. Let me look around!
