Absolutely incredible. Feeling inspired, this is what I want my tank to look like! I was skeptical about the shelf rock until I saw it starting to grow, this might be something I keep in the hip pocket for next build, really really like the aquascape. Where did you get the shelf rock, Marcos as well?

Thanks, Yeah there was not much aesthetics to a shelf of rock but I tell you it worked out perfect for stacking corals. I have more acros in here than I imagined and a ton of room to grow. Yes, Its all Marco with about 10 lbs seed from my old Marco rock. I have been very happy with this rock in the first build and that continues here.

This is awesome! It's pretty densely packed, what do you plan on doing once they start growing together? Will you be actively fragging or just letting nature run its course?

Thanks ,Yeah, I have a pretty large frag system so frags wont be a problem. I am slow to distribute them on here to respect the sponsors but do move them from time to time.

Hey Don good to hear from you, That is a fowleri tang and my third favorite to the Achilles and gem Tang. Looked to be a gonner when I got it as it was loaded with parasites and proud that I got it back to its full potential.

This is crazy what I wouldn't do to be able to have something like that. Like one of the last posters I am wondering what happens when they get to close to each other. There was a time I had a pretty nice tank going with lots of SPS but they got so big the grew into each other and it caused allot of problems with them killing each other which led to other problems at least that's what I blamed it on. It is a great accomplishment to do what you did here and I am sure anyone who see this will be impressed.

Amazing, the full tank shots are just mind blowing.

Please take the time to go over what you dose and feed this system.
