Fantastic. Looks great! It’s probably pretty hard to get a detailed photo of such a large tank. Congrats your tank has been going for a few years now.

Starting to look good Tim. Love the shower chair frag rack :p

Nope! Started it just before 4th of July last year. Going on 10 months. :) I had a 75 that I tore down shortly after setting this one up and I transferred the fish and coral from.that and my 5 gallon.
 
I'm considering making an Aragocrete sheath of sorts to kinda hide the egg crate legs, but I've already glued several encrusters so I'd have to make some space for those. I probably will. Maybe a project for next week? My two racks should be done soon I think. Once they're done soaking I'll either do a sheath or another rack or two.

You could just sacrifice the existing rack they are on. Snap the frags off the crate and just make a new piece.

Yeah. They just barely started encrusting but the plugs are glued in place.
 
Hows the dragon soul doing?
Getting puffier. I think it's going to be ok. Still not to sure about the Hell's Bells Zoas. They're opening but no lashes and not much color - greyish black.

So I was almost REALLY bad yesterday. I went to a couple of Petco's after work because my wife and daughter went off to play at a pottery place.

They had a male Melanurus Wrasse at one and a Buan Blenny at another. I considered both of them but got neither. It's probably good that I didn't, especially the Mel since I'm fairly certain mine has started to transition to male and it is at least twice as large as the one that Petco has.

My son tried to talk me into a Pincushion - that was an easy no.

No one wants to hear about your successful will power.
 
My wife came home and asked what we did. My son said "Went to Petco.". My wife said "Mmmm hmm... What'd you buy at Petco." I told her I didn't buy anything and she immediately went over to look at the tank. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: That's how often my "strong willpower" works.

Don’t fool yourself. That’s more a reflection of your honesty than will power!

The only petco that has a saltwater section is 1 hour 30 minutes from me. I am sure my husband is very thankful.
