Well I converted my frag tank into a display. I know I don't have a garden of SPS yet, more like freshly planted seeds :). I just order 10 pounds of Tonga Branch Live Rock from Premium Aquatics so I'll be looking forward to getting that into the tank and re-aquascaping.
Here are some pics

aclos3 - Thanks, haha ya there are a lot of frags in there. Way more cheaper for college kids like me than to buy colonies and make it look great right away.

Looks great:rollface: What made you go BB?
Grey Reefer - I went BB because I wanted to pack a ton of flow in there (60x flow right now) and didn't want sandstorms. I wanted to feed a lot and not worry about algae on the sand and I have to move my tank in 3 months and BB makes it so much easier. Plus I don't mind siphoning :)!
 
I've got about 35x times flow in my 20g now and every now and then one of my powerheads would fall down and create a sandstorm. I've heard of people using ceramic plates (kinda like laying tile) as a bottom and letting zoas grow all over aka a zoa mat. I think I'm going to try this on my next tank. I got tons of worms in my sandbed now and couldn't leave them homeless. :D
