Show me your LPS dominated reeftanks!

northernreefer0- do you have any problems with placing acans on the sand bed? did you use a larger grain sand for the substrate to keep it from blowing around into your acan polyps?

Most acans grow best when there placed on a flat chunk of live rock. This gives the base of the acan something to attach to. I've had a few fully encrust over a hard area in my sand bed and now are not removable. Indirect current will help them attach faster.
 
Here are some of my favorites!

Pics are a bit old but both tanks look pretty much the same, less frags that had to be taken to contain growth.

Agu--really great growth on the frog spawn and hammer corals,
What size are these tanks and what lighting are you using.
I can't believe they are only 10 gals like your signature states
 
Wow, about 5 GREAT looking tanks on this last page, and then some.
Impressed! I'm just growing 'shrooms lately I need some LPS!

Sincerely,
Matthew
 
Guess I should update since I am not in the 45 anymore upgraded to a 90....Here is the new look and you can see the growth on a few pieces I had and a few new ones.
