One thing i learned from all these changes is not to do all these changes... the current pic is what the aquascape will be for the rest of my tanks life.... hopefully lol...

Nice tank Tony. How has your growth been with the 2 hamilton 14ks?

 

[tonyscoots84]

thanks guys ...

i wouldnt say the best but things the corals are def. growing... and encrusting... so i cant complain.. i love the color...

With your larger fish, how are your chromis do they school or swim together at times ? Tank looks great, looks like you have problems with high flow over the frogspawns, they have moved all over the tank ?

thanks again guys... i just wanted a spot for the froggie and hammer to grow out and not touch my sps... so i ended up making a frag rack just for them... i really didnt want to get rid of them cause i like em 2 much.....

my powder blue tang is a model citizen in the tank.. doesnt bother any other fish at all... the 4 chromis swim together almost all of the time...

I think the tinkering will pay off. When that tank grows out it will look sweet. :thumbsup:
