very nice, i like it alot the aquascaping is amazing with the foam on the back and the little bridge in the middle of it all. What clowns do you have in there right now? any plans of some of the more pricey ones? i love the leukranos, one of my buddies has a pair of em and they are simply amazing...In the second pick, where that star fish is would be a sweet place to put a monti cap at angle so itll take a while before it hits the glass but other than that, dont really have much else to say besides awesome tank!

You guys so make it all worth it I thrive on praise hehe tell me more... OK anyway I'll throw up a few more pics from this weekend

The clowns are Oceallis Teardrops from England... I have a whole bunch of the Aussie Black and Whites but my wife loves the Teardrops and would flat out kill me if the more aggressive Aussies killed her little ones. I was wondering if since the tank is so large perhaps they could coexist but on opposite ends? oh well too risky

There are bunches of caps in there... Leng sy... Flower petal... simple orange... Strawberry patch... Orangi and a few more... the area right in front of the tank already has Echno instaed of caps a couple of the Tyree watermelons, Apocalypse, Alien Eye ect

Thanks Lunch Bucket I have loved your tank also

My PPE Elegance


My ORA Duncans


Isnt That Anemone ENORMOUSE? its about 12" across


Thank you gang

Beautiful progress, very nicely done and I love the morish idols, looks like the streamers are doing great. Anemone's grow far to fast, I would get rid of it to make sure the rest of your corals grow successfully and survive, especially all those pretty acans. Great tank, I'm looking forward to its development.

Thank you I love Anemones too much though .... when I built this tank I deliberately wanted to be able to keep anemones

akbuuur
Well that is good to hear... I was leaning towards that But I have wanted to hear that it was OK before I go and kill off my wifes valued teardrops

Looking good, I really love the big anenome. That is one thing I want to buy big and not wait for it to grow.

Dang Doc your tank is looking sooooo good! Without seeing the back wall and seeing the rock makes it look like caves from the actual ocean floor... SWEET!
