Agreed, it is a classic. I recently lost a Garf colony although a frag of it is hanging on OK now. But here is an excuse to share a photo of my classic tricolor. It outgrew my DT. My LFS shopped it around his big tank customers and found a good home for it. I deliver it Christmas Eve as a Christmas gift.

New FTS. I removed one of the three old towers and broke up the others. Also salvaged some of the encrusted corals that where on those old towers that survived every move so far.
Here's an image of the towers I was referring to. These where used in the tanks first aquascape.
No idea why it's posting this same image twice.. I delete it and save and reload at it re-adds it back.. Some times you just gotta go with it.

Does it support flow as well as you thought it would? I took out a ton of stacked rock, but still tweaking my MP & gyre positions.

I’m still going to remove more rock. I plan to remove piece once a month. Most of the parts that are broken up from the old towers are what’s coming out. Also I have coral on rock in my friends system that will come back here. I needed to make space for it’s return. Once I clear enough space I have other rocks designed not to sit on the bottom that will go in.
It’s a long process to do this right.

Agree it is a long process. I have been at it for months, one section at a time.
I think your forced reboot has been worth it to get that new scape going. (But then, I didn't have to do all the work

Funny thing, I was already in the planning stages of a new scape when this happened. At the time I was trying to figure out how to salvage coral and attach them to new sections as I went.Agree it is a long process. I have been at it for months, one section at a time.

Sorry to hear about the tank failure but looks like it's going well now. Nice work keeping the old media. I don't think I'll ever get rid of my rock and media as long as I'm in the hobby.
Just curious, I know you are seeded for coralline, but is it already growing on the glass/rock or not yet? Seems like I see some coming in between the second and third progression shot.

I had coraline spreading on day 10 of the rebuild. I’ve been scraping it off the glass since. I was heavily seeded by my old rock and snails so the coraline growth was my hint to start getting my corals back in.
Nice!
And to think that every single day, another tank begins with a dead rock start... scratching my head.

Looking really good. Plenty of room for some more coral!
In the video, I can see the fish getting shoved around by the flow, getting a good workout. Nice effect.

Top pic is Rainbow milli? Then GARF Bonsai? Then shortcake?
