Looks great! No starboard at the bottom? Rocks are just on the glass?

 

[J_Geisinger000]

yeah I decided to just put the rock on the tank bottom

but after christmas we are getting new carpet in the living room so I'll have to move the tank I may add starboard then

looking great Hey is this the purple sublata they were selling lasyt week?

 

[REEF-DADDY]

I hate to say it but this guys looks bleached

 

[xinumaster]

wwwooowww those are nice corals. Those colonies are huge.

 

[jay24k]

Nice pieces. I would say that piece doesn't look bleached but more over exposed camera shot Even if it is slightly bleached, I wouldn't worry. If it is, expect a nice browning up, possibly turning green, and then it's true color.

Good luck with it and I wouldn't worry about starboard if your rocks are nice and solid. If glass was going to break, it would break from the water much faster then some puny rocks
