I just so happened to be picking something up from the front of the tank and looked up and thought to myself now that would make a cool photo!

Well you thought good scotty!!!
Oh myyyy god....such an amazing pic buddy!
How weird is that montis growth pattern:wildone:
There is something in mature tanks with big sps colonies...that makes my eyes cry:sad2:
Have i told you lately,that i hate you???:mad2:
Hey Mike :wave:
Thanks mate it's much appreciated
That monti has gone a bit wild hasn't it :lol: it's growing in all directions at the moment but I think it's mainly due to the high flow that goes through that area of the tank.Big colonies are cool but when they start growing into each other like mine have you have to keep a close eye on them :hmm3:
No you have told me you hate me lately, to be honest I've actually missed it a little :lolspin:

Corals of this size can make you more a gardener than a reefer
Do you have problems with flow too,as they grow?Generally in the tank or especially in the center of the large corals?
ohhhhhh.....and.....i hate you:angryfire::angryfire::angryfire:lolspin::lolspin::love1::love1:
(please don't take the kiss literally )

They are starting to make me feel that way Mike :lol:
I've never had any flow issues mate, I'm actually really surprised myself to be honest! I would have thought by now I may have needed to add a couple more powerheads into the equation but I've been pretty lucky.
And don't worry I won't my friend :inlove: :lolspin:

Hi Scotty,
According to your T5 configuration, your B+ and actinic tubes (in one unit) (actinic being in the front) must come on first before your other six tubes fire. I wonder if you would mind posting a picture of your tank while only these two tubes are on.
Thanks

Great. Thanks. I will put my 3D glasses on before looking at them. I am sure your corals will look fascinating.

Can't wait!
Your tank is just so mature and grown out, it is awesome in the true sense of the word.
I'm wondering, Scotty, have you noticed any changes you've had to make to maintenance of the tank- nutrient or chemistry-wise or other.. Now that the tank is SO packed?
Your coral to water ratio is getting smaller and smaller.. I just wonder how that effects a system..
I am remembering mammothreefer's problems he had with his old tank- it was waaaay smaller thank your system but it eventually got so jam packed with corals that he lost stability and it crashed..
Just wondering if there is a sweet spot or apex in a system's development after which things become more tricky...
