Gorgeous tank doc. Now I have something to strive for. It may be a while seen as I am just about to get started and this will be my first reef tank.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

greetings from sunny San Diego, CA. The family and I are off visiting family and took some time for a nice vacation. I will not be on much for the next week, but I wanted to check a few things, so here I am.

The pink coral is a bubble coral Alexander

My rock is a mix of tonga and fiji.

As for aquascaping, I have no idea what makes it look "OK". I tend to try to make enough room for my corals. WHen i fiddle, it takes me hours and it can really piss off my wife cuz I just lose track of time. I hope to keep the rocks as is for a while to let the coral just over grow everywhere

Glad everyone liked the pics

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

I actually am having a wonderful time. Did the Disneyland thing yesterday. It was crazy-busy and just a ton of fun. Went from open to close...8am to midnight. Even the four-year-old was enthralled with the whole thing. great fun. off to the zoo tomorrow.

As for posting, I am trying to keep up so-as not to disappoint you, Reef.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

well, between food, gas, Disneyland (wow that was expensive), the zoo, Scripps Aquarium (which I have pics I will post for everyone), more food, and of course, shopping....I am broke. No new tank stuff for a while. Very much worth it though.

Very nice looking tank! Gotta ask, how do you keep your xenia groomed so well? Do you shave daily? Mine are just going nuts and doing whatever they want.. I like your perfectly scalped ball of xenia.
