What an awesome tank! Now give us a FTS that is straight on, no funny angles. I can see how low you water gets during WCs, talk about some serious coraline growth.

Thanks! it's kind of hard not get funny angles when your tank has 6 sides, LOL! I'll post better 'eye-level' pictures tonight.

Very cool tank setup!

 

What makes the damselfish your favourite? Your Goby and Wrasse are beautiful!

 

Thanks. He is so playful and peaceful, and the yellow and neon blue colors are very striking.

That tank is very nice! I have always liked the hex tanks, it is just not very often that you see someone execute them as well as you. Once that coral grows in a bit more it will be nuts.

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, i'm not rushing anything in it, which always bears better results in my experience. As you can see by the growth, I introduced the softies first, then LPS and when the tank was mature and consistent, SPS. So far so good!
