Alright remember to check out your thread before I came to work. The frags look awesome. Still kinda sad to see this tank go, but Area 29 will be fun to watch grow out.

First off... :D those lotr are HOT!

 

Second, the sour apples are def lightening up. Looking good

 

And... Those caps are looking great - the purple polyp frag I got from you is encrusting nicely btw.

 

Question. It looks like your acans are pretty close to each other. Do they fight much?

gats - yea me too, its been fun working with this tank, but I can do better, and I want to do so with the 29. Im working on the branch right now, its going to be really cool, once I get that put together Im going to start the new thread

 

latte - I know the lotr are cool, that frag came out great too got 4 polyps and all are open and happy!

 

Yea keep em close, the only acans I've seen fight each other are lords against echinata, and echinata always win. but My lords dont battle, but when I get them into the 29 definitely going to leave grow out space :D

So I didn't think Id be posting here any time soon

broke down the 29 cuz I was unhappy, right now the 20l is a holding/frag tank until my 14" cube gets here, after the new tank is set up this will just be a prop tank only

 

its the same set up as before, just a different style of return plumbing

 

here is the rebuild!!!
