Man your sps growth is outstanding brother! Wow! Is that a magnetic frag rack that they're on, or is it part of your rock work?

:D I think they are like the hard stuff of reefing be careful you don't get hooked! the softies and LPS draw you in, but soon enough you need more and more until you step up to acros. Then the LPS/softies are just filler on the sandbed...


Don't get me wrong, I still love my Lobo, and the meat corals. I still like the other stuff... and yet... mor sticks

Nice tank !
 
loaf of hand made bread would go well for this dish !
I didn’t wait but the Mrs made garlic bread out of Texas toast.
 
I know I have mentioned that I don’t like the look of the tank with full whites. If you look hard you can see a subtle difference that makes the blue look better.

Oh I definitely saved room for them! The day I set my tank up, I had a plan for where sps were gonna go. People told me I was getting ahead of myself, but I knew what I wanted in the end. So here I sit with those areas almost filled up. My lps and zoas are used to my "acro water" that ive been keeping steady parameters on, so let's go up a level!
