some several year old frags

Awesome Gary! I love seeing a bunch of big colonies in a mature reef vs a tank filled with a bunch of frags...which has become too common of late, IMNSHO.

Gary can you please move the big bolder looking rocks out of the way so i can see the frags LOL Outstanding !!!! do have lots of questions but the first that comes to mind is.....do you add two part or do you have a calcium reactor?

I use DIY (BRS) two part to adjust levels and Ca reactor to maintain those levels.
Kalkwasser for makeup/ topoff as well (to bolster pH)

Hi Gary, I have always liked your tanks. I couldn't tell after reading your TOTM thread, you run a sandbed at all? And how do you keep your anemones from becoming Penductor and/or Vortech60 food? Do you hire somebody to keep an eye on your anemones from wondering off? I'm sure they've been in their current spot for years but aren't you afraid one day, when no one's looking, they could take off?

Ironically, I moved my gigantea this past weekend.

That particular anemone did wander upwards on it's own a couple of times in the past.
It killed some SPS. Not really a big deal.

My mag anemone caused a fish kill when it got into an overflow and THAT was a big deal!

I don't know if my gig will like where I placed it this weekend so im currently on watch...
I'll update soon....

Very Nice Gary, I've reset my system like three times and you still got this bad boy going!

Wow, huge colonies. How is it growing above the water line? Did your water level used to be higher?
