How do you like it? It seems like that may be my next tank

I realllyyyy really love it! You can get in the tank and clean really easily and the dimensions make for a great shallow reef. At first I was a little hesitant because I wanted the 120(which would have been just a smidgen taller and actually a couple bucks cheaper) and I thought that this one wouldn't work but I was totally wrong! I now know that the 120 would have been at that uncomfortable "armpit " depth that everyone hates lol

Loves the monti's you have! I cant wait to see how your experimenting goes. I been thinking about doing some of my own!

We'll see how this goes, I have another one more developed but I haven't noticed a bond on the pieces.
Next up I'm going to make like a checkerboard effect with slivers of both montis and see what happens. I love playing Dr.Frankenstein lol!

Looks like ecotech lights. If so could you share your schedule and the Depth of the tank. I'm still experimenting with mine to find the best settings

I'm actually still fooling around with it. So far I've been shooting for color over growth but I've been getting growth over color.... Gonna have to start using more UV+ actinic throughout the day... And probably raise the intensity. The tank is 16 inches deep and the lights are only at 35%

I like your experiments

.

Here were mine on March 25, 2014.

And August 27th, 2015. A little suggestion, be sure to give them ample space to grow.

First off, that's reallyyyy crazy nice!
Secondly, I made three of these so if any of them "graft" I'm keeping it. One is going to by buddy's tank as his birthday present and the last one might go to my fave local vendor.
Once my mother colonies have a second to grow back and heal I'm gonna take some more pieces off and try a different method

I am the zoa queen

but sticks grow slower so it's actually easier to deal with them because I don't have to cut them back lol
