Thank you!!! Im a scuba diver and I have spent hours studying formations on real reefs. I just try to duplicate them. There is really 5 separate pillars. The big face rock is one rock. Texas holy rock. It weighed 90 lbs dry. The rock coming out from the upper right side is a Tunze wave box. It is completely covered with three different Monties. The sunset montie is taking over though. The back right pillar is covered by 5 RBTAs. Pretty much a fortune in Aquamend is the trick for the rest. I incorporate the sides of the tank. I'm trying for a reproduction of swimming through a channel on the GBR.

Wow that is amazingly beautiful. Very nice tank you have there.

Thank you all. Added a nice big Dendrophyilla colony under my Strawberry Shortcake colony. Fought through AEFW, redbugs but now it's all worth it. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

that's one killer looking reef tank you have there!

 

[frugalreefer]

It really does look like your swimming past a section of a reef with all the mixed corals. The tabling acros are sweet! I find myself just staring annd looking through your coral collection. Well done

[slapshot]

Thank you very much! Here is an update. I rearranged a few things more to my liking.

 

[nanoreef heaven]

I could watch your tank for hours. It is just lovely. Would love a video.

Beautifully done slapshot. :thumbsup:

What kind of lighting are you running?

 

[jroovers]

Very nice, the scaping is indeed terrific! I've done two pillars in my 120 which are very vertical - I like the perception of depth and the vertical reach, but I find it difficult to place SPS in the lower portions as they quickly become shaded. The white balance on your last couple shots looks much better than the first few you posted.

Thank you. 2 400 watt Ushio 20k and a Chinese led light.

Yep, getting better at the pics. That is the reason I ended up going down the azoox route. The shading is a constant issue that requires lighting adjustments and pruning of the corals.

No wonder it looks so good.
