Sorry for being late. Some stuff came up.
Anyway here are some more pictures from MACNA and of my tank.
Im super stoked on this Alternative Reef frag rack.

It has only been a week and everything has already changed from looking at these pictures. Day by day it feels beyond slow but week old pictures even show change!

I also saw this mount at MACNA. It is nothing new but really fits my needs well. The goose neck wasn't close to long enough to light the whole tank. Now the back area of the tank is lit well.

In its new location.

Pink rock anemone.

I got it at MACNA from their both. Awesome guys. I love that it has a little cave on the inside which makes it far far more interesting and appealing than your standard frag rack.

Just read through the whole thread. Quite the ride you've had with this tank. It is looking good tho! I'm also located in North county. Have you been to Reefers Garage yet?

I haven't but I had the assumption that it was like an appointment only store and like you had to know him but he was at RAP and told me thats not the case. He had some awesome stuff at his booth and was super nice. I am for sure going to go soon once I build up my reef money again.

I love yumas and Rics! I got the yumas on the frag plugs at RAP from Cali kid. He said they are one of his signature corals he calls Razzleberry yumas if I remember correctly. There was a little baby on the original plug that I was able to get on it's own plug. Excited to see how fast/slow it will grow and when the other one will split. It already has two mouths.
Behind that is my RR bowzer Yuma which is growing really nicely

Yea he has a good selection, and is super friendly and helpful. I am still in process of setting my tank up but I have gone with my buddy who has bought a few corals and fish from him with great experience.
