Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

more pics





Here is a bad pic of the open brain. I hope this is normal. A rock fell on him today and he looks PISSED AS HELL. If this guy dies, I will be so unhappy





Here is a quick full tank shot to show some of the movement in my tank. I am planning to add 2 or 3 more Bartlett's, a maxima or derasa clam, and a red acro for the empty peak at the top right of the tank. I am also going to weed out the silver-tipped xenia. Tax return should be here in another week or so just in time to make me a happy camper with my tank.

I think you are referring to my wall hammer, which in an LPS coral. It is the big one between the regal tang and the bartlett anthia. It is a huge piece that is one of my favorites because of how I found it. It is just about the size of a cantaloupe when fully extended. I was at a rival fish store just checking things out when a guy came in complaining about a coral that he could not keep under his VHO lights and wanted his money back - $150. The guy told him NO WAY all sales are final (don't worry, I don't ever shop there). I asked the guy what he had and it was that coral. I told him I would give him $50. He said "ok" and I took home the container and he has been mine for almost two years. Glad you liked it.
