@mpoletti- Loved how this tank has progressed over the years. This tank might calm your mind after the recent bad form of Liverpool. JK. :lol2:

Unfortunately not. In fact, the only reason I had the camera out was I needed to take some pictures of some frags I'm trying to move.

About that FTS, that's probably not going to happen as I just bought a few new rocks as I'm still not happy with the tank's progress.

Beautiful Monti, Mark. Which one is that? The Grinch?

Thanks Kenny. That's the original forest fire.

So which is the OG Forest Fire? The one that came from Richard or was there another one? I have the one from Richard but the polyps on my colony aren't as big. Of course, I am sure my gang of nippers, especially the butterflies, had a hand in that.

The one from Richard is the wildfire. This one cam in illegally through canada right after the sunset and before the other "reverse sunsets" hit around 5 years ago or so.

Contraband coral??? How could you, Mark? :eek1:

Very nice indeed. I am getting all these fires confused. Waiting on a frag of the OG Brush fire :crazy1:

 

[mpoletti]

The PPT was a contraband coral as well. And some people don't think lineage matters...then there wouldn't be cool stories like these

Wow Mark, tank looks great!

Mark, your fish and coral collection is what inspired me to break down my 150 and start my new 195 Starphire.

By far one of the most impressive collection of fish and corals anywhere. :beer:

 

[mpoletti]

Awesome!

Thanks Dan. How's the rebuild going? Any links? pictures?

Wow Mark, tank looks great!

Thanks Perry.

what makes a coral coming from Canada into the US illegal? Or was it the journey before it was ever in Canada?
