My new center piece

[octoberfest]

Some pictures of my chalice that will be the center piece in my new tank. There is a lot more yellow in it but for some reason it doesn't show up in the pictures, I'll keep trying. Its between 1"1 and 12" across.

Somewhat close to the surface

how about a full tank shot? That must be a large aquarium! :xd:

Crap, I meant 11" to 12" ....not 1'11".

Right now its in a 4'X2' tank while my 190 is being put together. I'll try to get a FTS up tonight.

Please never cut that. It is too beautiful at that size!

Here are two pictures but the day lights had already gone out.

The biggest chalice is in the upper part of the picture and if you notice there is a second one towards the bottom, about 1.5 to 2" smaller but still a monster. There is a third one as well under the frag rack about 6" to 7" across but you can't really see it in this picture. Oh and don't worry, the hammer coral is MUCH further away than it looks in the picture.

Opposite angle

In this picture you can get an idea of the size. The overflow in the back is 15" wide. You can also see the third chalice, the smaller one, in right side of the tank.

Hahah, yeah. This tank is just a holding tank that I'm putting everything in while I'm putting my display tank together. Once the display is up 90% of what's in here is coming out.
