Erick's 165g Reef

I have the same exact dimensions for my tank! Not a very common tank size, do you have the glass center brace on yours? Nice scaping BTW, how about a full tank shot?!

Yeah it's not common. I don't have the center brace. It did have one but the halide I had before melted it. I knew it would but tried it anyway just to watch. That was before there was water of course! I had my LFS contact Dallas Aquarium and Pond to make a new rim for me that had two braces. I drove down and met the owner to pic it up. I'll try to get a FTS. I've got stuff everywhere right now cause I'm working on my frag tank.

Thanks! I've got some changes coming very soon. I'll try to do more regular updates. I do have a few more coral shots to post up also.

Here's a recent addition that I absolutely love! Pic doesn't do it justice whatsoever. It's got a ton of red and is pretty bright. It's colored up since I got it around a month ago also.

Symphyllia willsoni

Here's a growth comparison of my green Echinata. I got it in January of 2012 as one or two heads. This first pic was from June of 2012 and the second pic is from a couple days ago. It's on a 3" disc.

Thanks! I like it too, but that is one change that is coming soon to the tank. I plan to build it up more and do a couple big arches. I also want a couple overhangs for lower light coral and I would like more open sand bed. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with something with the rock I have.

Looks great Erick!

Thanks Rev! It's got too many frag racks for my liking right now, but I had to move everything over so I could work on the frag tank. I'm working on getting everything back to normal.
