A couple of nighttime shots
I realised last monday was 3 years since my new tank arrived on the drive and was hauled into my living room. So, I took a couple of shots to celebrate...



Here's another with what's left of my beautiful green Stylophora... getting hard to keep any Pocillipora, Stylophora in the tank recently... maybe I need to prune the Acropora to stop their dominance!

Here's the tank July 2002 when I finally got all the corals moved over from my previous system:



You can see some more growth sequence shots over time in my gallery.

Amazing what few years will do (a lot of work on your part though as well!!). It looks gorgeous and it's one jaw dropping tank! Happy belated tank birthday and I hope that beauty sees many more and only gets better.

Drooooool. Someone just got bumped off my top 10 list. Stags and caps are my absolute favorite corals. How awesome.

uhm, Wow...

I'm only a journeyman at identifyini stuff... but I like all the big stags and elkhorn... a lot of people complain about tanks with lots of those but yours looks great and really grown out!
