I’ve been a little embarrassed...

I look at all your tanks in awe and have always thought my tank could never measure up. So, I’ve neve posted any pictures. Another reason is that I seam to have found a great lighting schedule with my Radions and it is quite blue most of the time, which leads to real weird pictures. But, I really want the opinion of you guys as to aquascape and frag placement, etc.so here goes..

This tank is a 60 gallon cube (24x24x24) with a Vertex Somatic sump and skimmer. I have one Eheim power head, a 1k gyre, and a small hydor for a little counter current that is soft enough not to whirl my long tentacle plate in a wad. Ok...

I know it’s hard to tell much being as it’s so blue. Maybe I’ll change the light for a second...

I have seen coral reefs that do not nearly as good. Looks like a decent reef tank to me.

Maybe this is better...

Whaaa!? Share more often! The tank looks great! Those corals look excellent and when they grow up the tank will be killer! You must be doing something right! Welcome to R2R btw.

Not sure exactly how to take that.

I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t have posted this thread!

Fat fluffy corals is usually good looking enough for me. Forget everything else.

hanks! Can I do anything better, you think?

Looks great!

Of course, I could pick up some random pieces of pvc and scrape some algae.... but I don’t have the gumption right now.

Nice pictures! I remember having a 60 cube and it drove me crazy! I think aquascaping them is really difficult compared to a standard rectangle. Your tank will be exceptional once all those frags grow into mini colonies! ^_^

How old is your tank? I'd say it's doing very well and will fill out nicely in time.

GSP will become a problem before long though.

Great tank! Only thing I would mention is that rabbitfish has the potential to grow to 10" or more and will need a larger home at some point. No idea how fast they grow though.

Your tank looks LOT better than both of mine !

You just need time. I was going to say you need to improve your photo skills but I scrolled further down and your second set of pics are much nicer. It looks like you have good equipment, a nice tank and lots of interesting livestock. Just going to take a while for everything to fill in. Give it time.
