I am interested to find out how challenging it will be to maintain such a small SPS tank!

Dave,

I know personally how much planning and effort you put into this build and how excited you were to get it rolling, I have to admit I was skeptical of the size, but man, that thing is beautiful!! I love love love that SPS at the surface of the water, top view for the win, my friend! Love it bro, and loving the new camera!!!!! I can actually see your corals now lol. No more iPhone ;P

I changed the rock work around in order to create a low flow area for a ricordea, yuma, and acan area!

Uknown SPS ive grown fond of

Another FTS after moving some stuff around. Some of the SPS are still closed up from all the moving around

Some LPS waiting for me to find a new place for it on the rock!

Ok Dave, that's it, I want one of them there tanks! You should give that poor MP a vinegar bath lol, everything is so pristine in the tank and then you got the MP wetside looking like it came out a swamp haha

 

[nova65ss]

Looking really good man! Love how you did the scape!

How do you like having the light hanging front to back rather than long ways?

Hahaha it was overrun by algae, vinegar bath is on my list to do!

 

[DAS212]

Oooooh! Hot acros!

More to come! Just have to keep the params stable in such a small tank. Going to get my doser up and running again!
