Top Down Shots

This guy is with the little bubble tip down in the rocks

It was almost white when I picked it up at Petco for very little, it split into three and is now looking a tan color after a few months.

Another of the 3

Overlooking the mountain top

Only had for not quite 2 weeks and already a new branch starting

He get's in all sorts of weird positions to graze the rocks

Your tank just makes me smile about how much I love this hobby and realize that everyone builds the best tank they can and you've gotten yourself my dream tank. I love the long and shallow build it just has a sense of reality of a local reef around here

Thanks, I wanted the length and depth front to back more then height. Already hard enough to reach the bottom as it is.

It's awesome and hope to have my own 500 but a low cylinder tank with a 10' diameter at least

According to the tracking info I have clear netting waiting for me to replace the current dark screen. 1/4" openings and clear, rather then super tiny openings and dark.
