congrats rocky! I too have seen this tank and it is amazing. it resembles what I call a true mixed reef. rocky does everything that people say cant be done or shouldn't be done and he does it successfully.

Thanks Shane. Like I've said a hundred times there's a million ways to something and nobody is doing it wrong if its working. IMO most of the rules of reefkeeping had been created for new comers who really do not understand the science behind the system and once you understand it you can manipulate or alter your system to suit your reefing personality.
Congrats Rocky, Im a big fan of your tank, really beautiful.

Congrats - Love seeing a mixed reef loaded with SPS. You have great colors and everything is happy. A true masterpiece you should be proud of yourself!

Amazing spotlight!!

Things are going well so far...I setup a 220, corals are starting to grow...maybe one day they'll be as big as yours.

It'll happen a lot faster than you think believe me. I wish I had room for more there's still a lot of SPS pieces I'd love to have but can't fit.

I really hope so, how long has it taken you...I want to have an idea...that's one of the major problems with this hobby, there's a lot of nice SPS out there and not having enough room once the frags grow into colonies.

Honestly George some of these pieces grew into colony's from frags over a six month period others were colony's already. On this tank I get crazy growth O cross my fingers it continues. You'll have to come check it out some time.
