That feeding ring looks a little too much like a toilet seat! Don't give your guests too much to drink!

In my house it doesnt matter if it looks like a toilet or not

Nice.

I feel all inadequate now.

Thanks for checking it out Mark.

I like to think we all do the best we can with the resources we have available!

I've added the emoticon I should have added earlier; my comment was a quip that perhaps didn't cross the Atlantic very well. I read through this entire thread yesterday. Hugely entertaining and, at times, a little scary (e.g. the discovery of the bowed window). I think it's incredible what you've achieved, and I also think you're crazy.

Cheers Mate! You are correct. I am a little crazy.

I sat back and looked at the tank last weekend and thought to myself... This is pretty dang cool. I'm glad we put in the time and made this come together. It's amazing to see it full of corals and starting to mature.

Thanks for your kind words!! Reef on Brother!!

Top down view, overlook/feeding area and sink action in the fish room… these will
change a little over time but wanted to show the current line up.

 

[dca22anderson]

Fish are looking good but I took this picture to celebrate the first dot of coralline algae on the viewing panel that I’ve seen so far in this tank!! LOL!!

Did you put some frags on the bottom? Or did they fall off?

They get knocked off by the bigs and urchins... I need to dive it and put them all back in place soon!

Look at the belly on that bad boy!!

Also here is one of two angels I have in the tank… coral beauty and this flame angel…

I love that you’ve got some 1” fish in that monster tank

Thanks!

I am working towards having all sizes of critters in there… from the big white margin unicorn tang down to the small springeri damsel.

The clowns and damsels spread out and make little territories so there is action all across the reef.

Love how it’s turning out…

The reef is really starting to mature nicely!

All that room and the only two angels you put in are dwarf angels?

 

[Bpp124987]

Ya really! Where are the big angels!

I love big angels! They could be my favorite fish... buuuuut I love LPS more at this stage ... Once the corals grow out and get big I may try a few of my favorites...

Ya really! Where are the big angels!

I think once the corals mature and can handle some nipping then I will add some big angels... I am starting to season a baby queen angel up now...

 

[dca22anderson]

Those are the last big angels I had in the holding system… I’m a fan!!

 

[flagg37]

Emperors and regals are my favorite.

Both are AMAZING!!
