You say you are not good with the camera, but those pictures are awesome. At least the subject matter is awesome.

You have a very nice tank.
was there a reason why you switched from BB to a sand bed?

I had intended on a light sand covering in the tank. The southdown sand that I had intended to use was hard to come by at the time the tank was filled. So, I added sand at a later date. It it is much more of a safe undertaking to add sand after the rock is set any way. That is why it appears that I went from BB to a sand bed.

The spread on the acropora is quite impressive. Did you purchase those at an advanced stage or were they frags when you started?


Very healthy looking tank.

The majority of the them were frags when I started the tank.
