Those are some nice colonies. Well placed. How's that one on the back right? If it's sitting on the glass you may wanna move it for cleaning purposes. Either way looks good!

I like it a lot a lot! haha! Very well put together 10 gallon my friend.

 

I think that you are just putting this all together and transplanting it to my BC 14 right?? Is this your plan to make me and awesome reef by pre-setting it up at your house??

lol the nem.. as in what you sent me in the text?? lol!!

 

what is the critter in the picture with your magfloat?

 

 

the pom pom crab?

 

That mystery nem looks like a duncan.

 

someone stated that earlier in the thread i had about it...

 

then i stated that it doesnt suck into the skeleton... it just closes kind of like a mushroom would... and he said it wasnt a duncan.

 

some of the pics from that thread

all close up and personal...
