And a very nice piece of reef you have there! :D
 
Great taste in coral and fish! :D
 
thanks revhtree, that catalina goby is one of my favorites, really colorfull.
 
How long have you had it and what temp is your tank? I love those little guys!
 
i have had it for over 4 months, got it for 11 dollars at a LFS and thought it was a great deal. After it was already in my tank i read about it. My temps are constantly at 79 % and he seems fine since day one.
 
Very nice! You have a whole lot of nice corals packed in there! Can't wait to see the growth progress!
 
Great Job!

We just set up a Solana last weekend. Yours looks great. we can't wait to add livestock to ours. Hopefully it will look as good as yours:wink:

thank you Sara, things have grown quite a bit in there, and i have changed a lot but things are looking good, not as packed as it used to be because i finally started placing frags where i want them to be.

Thank you Dave and lisa. Just be patient, and keep up on water changes, its not hard at all to do maintance on this tank which i think its one of the main reasons i like it so much. good luck with your set up and post pictures of your progress.
 
El Camaron,
What type of mods did you do to your skimmer? Ours performs ok, but could use a little improvement.
Thanks,
Dave and Lisa
 
That's a lot of nice looking frags that you have there. When they grow out a bit you're going to have to do a lot of pruning! Otherwise it will be sting city.

Hang on to this thread so you'll be ready to send me some of those frags! :burn_joss_stick:

here are a few pictures of what i did, but basically i just did a mesh mod to the pump and drilled a few holes. The skimmer performs 10 times better, no reason to get another one for sure.
