I've got to say I absolutely love your tank, the concept, how clever and real it looks, and the live stock selection. I love the crabs, the 2 pairs of clowns, the nem, and the fuzzy dwarf lion fish. Most people do not combine those and it just amazes me. Also the little hitch hiker nems are very cool. Also I love the color of the new 15K bulbs.

Question... what kinda of putty did you use? I looked through the posts but didn't see any mention of it.

Ur tank makes me mad.
Mad that its so awesome and so out of my league. I have only been reef keeping for 8 months but this type of thinking creatively is something that I will carry with me always. There in the back of my mind I will always know that when people say "you cant do a tank that shallow" "that fish cant go with that one" "blah blah" I can know that we dont always know.
Course there is a balance to that and you dont want to unduly hurt the animals because you think you know better when you are still a newb. My drawn out point is that look what can be accomplished when you harness the skill of reef keeping and embrace creativity.
Good job man.

Just the normal grey epoxy putty.

Purchased at a LFS?

Yeah. Usually I just use cyanoacrylic glue, but the putty seemed like it may "match" better. That's still up for debate. I kind of think I still should have used that instead.

Got some new mangroves. Wanted some mature ones, but no where to be found! Anyway, to keep the picture posting marathon going, here are some new shots.
There is something about urchins I love.
These new lights make these things glow! They are not that pretty in real life. It's crazy!
I wanted to have a silhouette shot, but was unable to get it. Still kind of neat though.
With the previous lights, there was no green in the middle of the polyps. Unbelievable.
Put a vignette on this shot. That is our baby crab. It is substantially smaller than the others. I wish I had a point of reference.

As always, truly amazing. Are those mangroves ok for the DT? Do they get root crazy? Never kept them before and was thinking of trying some in my refugium.

What is the "DT?" The roots do get crazy, but unmangeable. Just hard to move them. However, in a refugium, they will be perfect!
