... Note, I have not talked about fish yet. The final choices for the coral 'islands' will help determine the fish selection and I expect to have a very respectable array of specimens befitting this build and this tank. The underlying coral however will always be the mainstay of this presentation and the fish will be a compliment to that.
I am determined to maintain a positive stance when it comes to coral and fish selection. I am planning to deal with known sources for material and most likely farmed products whenever possible. I will likely go to the source when and where possible to hand pick the selection as I have yet to see anything decent in any of the local LFS. I am not being critical of our local commercial efforts to support our hobby, its just that this build is a little unusual in its scope and most if not all the LFS's are not set up for this kind of buy.
So Tone, there is a little distance yet to get where we need to go but I am determined to get there with patience and perseverance(not to mention the occasional golf game :beer.

Mate (feeling a little ozzie?), I'm so proud of you respecting the biotope idea and stocking once the form is established ... It is just such a good way to do things!
