This is going to seem like a dumb question, but I don't know so I will ask. I know very little about chalice's, I am guessing that you keep them in your frag tank or on the bottom of your DT. What will you do with the frag plugs that your chalices are mounted on when the chalices cover the plug, mount the plug to a piece of live rock and let it grow onto the LR or mount the plug onto a larger plug? You have done a great job with your new tank.

Tank is looking GREAT!
Looking forward to a review of the Apex. I'm hoping Santa puts one under my Christmas tree.

I love the comment about your tank being overstocked on Youtube...:snicker:

Nice pieces. You're a true connoisseur to wear gloves and all to protect your precious ones there. :)

2 true Perculas
1 False Percula
5 Barlett Anthias
