The Poor Man's "Elos" SPS Build. :)

[143gadgets]

Well, I decided to move a few corals over from the frag tank. I'm very happy with the coral placement and I'm quite confident its gonna grow out nicely. I plan to move some select chalices over to the main tank. I took some pics for you all and even a couple close-ups. I would love to know what you all think and your opinions as well. Look forward to reading your feedback.

Thanks! I'm looking for someone to make a photo box for me. The guy that made my original one is no longer in the hobby and i don't have his number. As soon as I get one I'll be taking some serious top downs.

Thanks! I got a hold of our clubs par meter and I am scared to move them over. The par in the lower half of the tank is double that of the frag tank. I feel like I will bleach them if I just toss them in. I gotta figure out what to do to acclimate them properly.

Thanks! I had 20, but I lost a goby and 3 of the Bartlett's jumped so I am down to 16. adding some more in the next couple weeks.
