These are the kind of tanks which have inspired me to reaquascape my tank over a period of time. I recently have added a Hammer coral(two weeks ago), Torch coral(last night), and a Purple Aussie Elegance coral(acclimating as I write). Maybe I can get a picture of the tank once the Elegance acclimates alhthough it won't compare to the wonders posted above.

Wow, I'm not sure what is more interesting, Tom. Your stock list, or your obscenely detailed record keeping skills

 

[Paul B]

That is some good record keeping skills, I have no idea what kind of powerheads or heaters I have. I would have to crawl around under the tank, clean off the corroded name tags and try to figure it out. Some of the powerheads are so old, I think there made out of wood :lol:

I don't even know what company built my tank. Probably Christopher Columbus fish tank company :smokin:

Schucks

Ok, I admit to being an accountant although I think I obsess more with my reef tank!

Yeaahhhhh, baby!:spin1:

My 40g LPS/Frag growout tank. If you look closely, you can see my Carmabi peeking out from underneath the Duncans.

64Ivy, What is that big coral on the left hand side? It looks like a bouquet of flowers.

Palythoa. In fact, this is the oldest coral colony I have at 13 years and one of the few to survive the crash.

 

[PoukieBear]

WOW ! That's what I originally thought they were, but I changed my mind, thinking "NAH! It's too HUGE to be Palys....Must be something else."

Those things look like they are on steroids! Congrats !

 

[jennmac415]

I think they are called cinnamon polyps...

 

[miztahphong2]

64ivy, all those acans look like "candy"! nice

Can't wait for the frag tank to cycle and get this baby clean.
