CaptainRon September 24, 2011 Share September 24, 2011 Looks nice and spacious. I've been working on my 30x30x24 all day and it didn't come out nearly as well. Nice work Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k September 25, 2011 Author Share September 25, 2011 finishing touches- glued down all small frags to tile and covered most of the bottom with beach gravel that I collected from Big Sur. got the fuge lights installed and all wandering anemones banished to the sump/fuge area. last little plumbing leak fixed and going on vacation for a week. Hope it looks the same when I get back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible Corals September 26, 2011 Share September 26, 2011 Thats going to look awesome once it grows out. I can picture some SPS colonies growing in/up and the tank looking amazing. What are your plans for corals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zygote2k October 30, 2011 Author Share October 30, 2011 Jan- that coral is real Frogspawn. Many of the other "Frogspawn" corals out there are probably some variant of Torch. Frogspawn has tentacles with little knobs. Torch has smooth tentacles. I know some of the other Euphylliads have tentacles that look like both.
