you can notice the growth on the caps, tort, and the stag in the center of the tank that I took some massive frags off of lately

thats is awsome.that stag at least tripled in size from those pics.the blue tort on the left has grown alot as well.cant wait to see 1 year on my tank.
 
I think that could easily make tank of the month. You can definitely be proud to call that your own. I can only imagine having a tank half as nice as yours.

wow Hawk, not only the growth but check out the difference in color on the orange cap on the far right.

Thank you laura

In the 1st pic the orange cap on the right was the mother colony and one one in the center was a frag from it I sold them both . The 2 orange caps in the 2nd pic were 2" frags from the mother coiony.

checkinhawk, yep, the stag sure has and you have a very nice frag or should I say mini colony from it:D

mflamb, By the time you get that tank up I will have to frag the caps again.

cwegescheide...thank you it is a 90 and you know what I want ;) send me a pm if you think we can work something out:smokin:

boydx6 and pmike25 thank you for your vote of confidence

ladyfsu, Ah64av8tor, Don Lino...thank you for the kind words:)

It was nice to find the pic and see how the tank and hard work progressed! Since I have been coming to the tampa bay reef club forum I have met nothing but truly nice caring genuine peoples who are willing to help with any issue that they can possible help out and with that I thank you.
