Thank you, I remember showing people my tank when there was only rock in it.

He does not touch the corals. I would only buy one that you see eating at the fish store.

Wow, what you did with those monti's is....well, that is just crazy.

I can't believe that they grew like that.....in the main shot of the tank, I thought it was just some great looking chalice.....but man...I am floored... :eek1: :eek2:

I was going to ask if you had any more pictures of the tank when it was initially setup. I am assuming that the corals were glued to larger rocks when they were added and are not just sitting on LR rubble. Tank looks very nice, I can't believe everything close so close together!

Congratulations! Nice tank. Would you be interested in selling me a frag of your blue tort?
Thanks,
Dan

Wow, you can tell I didn't proof read this! I was going to ask if you had pictures from the tank's initial setup also. Also, I meant to say "I can't believe everything grows so close together without harming each other.

There is a picture of tank at the one year mark somewhere in this thread. Thats the only pic a have of the tank from back then.

I just glued the frag to the large pieces of live rock mostly but there are some smaller ones that I placed in there.
