I love the way your tank is built into a corner.
I've always wanted something like that but never had the house to do it.

Late reply but; Thanks Marty, the corner build was the reason for the upgrade from 120 to the 210.

The "meat coral" is I believe a sinularia. It came from a friends tank and has been in a sence, in my care for about 5 years.

Canon Rebel T4i It should take far better pictures though. I don't think my wife has cleaned the lens in months.

Took some less blurry pictures today out of windstorm boredomThought I'd share them. Some are repeats but things are growing fast lately and looking good. I was also able to meet Dana Riddle at one of our LFS sales today. Very nice man. I hope to see him again if I can swing MACNA in Denver next year.

Yes, it did. I had that piano hinged so there was access to the tank from the back and the front. If you look closely at the top under what I call the eyebrow you can barely make it out. The new tank is also accessed from the front and back but I used a more hidden front door for it since it is built all the way to the outside corner of the wall.

I couldnt imagine have a built in tank without front access. A reef is hard enough work as it is without mounting corals in reverse.

Looking good Duane, but I think you need some Maxima clams in there lol...
I agree completely. I currently only have two clams and would love to have a couple more. I have a duresa and a crocea but would love to have more variety. The clams you just picked up would be great but I am starting so save now for my new apex Christmas present.
