Thank you!

And if you could find a link or something, I would love to know more. To the best of my knowledge, I the only person whom takes this approach to aquascape, but I could certainly be wrong

It was on reefcentral, and a pretty old thread. Wish I could find it again without scrolling back too much. Either way, this tank looks like fun! I'm a bit curious as to how the zoas will grow as they encrust downward. Will they have to stretch more for light since the ones above them might shade them out?

The tank you are thinking of was a guy by the name of Neal out of CT. His screen name on reef central was Pallobi.

thats cool man, no worries. if it was at least a few years old, im thinking it was one of my old threads. i have a different screen name there

im thinking that as long as there isnt any real lack of light, they should just mold down until they hit the bottom. if that ever happens... ive had ones in the past grow down 6 or 7 tiles (2 inches), and never reached out the sides... only time will tell... and thats if im fortunate enough to succeed that far, lol

This would look cool too with frogspawns, torches and hammers!

i agree, and i have thought about something like that along the sides or back corners as well... something that doesnt require a ton of light, but would really mix things up... maybe down the road when i get a bigger tank.. again, if i make it that far

I really like your setup! Very unique, and intriguing. I like the idea of a gsp carpet surrounding your towers. I am also interested in seeing how your polyps do with growing down the tiles away from the light. Keep posting pics and updates, I am subscribed!

Very cool! I would like to do something like this some day.

Stomp · Mar 21, 2014

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the interest.

Trying to setup a couple frag pack sorta buys from some fellow locals for the next week or two, to add some more

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna lose some xmen, and possibly another one or two, but whatever...

Also, I added a juvenile purple tang today. So that is awesome. Sweet score too, got him for 65 bucks from a fellow member in the Boston area club I'm in (I'm in 3)... Also confirmed the acquisition of a deep blue 75g edge rimless in about 4 weeks when another local changes over to the upgrade they are now cycling. So that rocks, lol

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store!

Getting more zoas today

Nothing too special, but adding new morphs none the less, lol

Stomp · Mar 25, 2014

So I got a few more Rastas, some joker palys, a different morph of "bam bams" than the ones I have, some la lakers that were kinda small, but fragged a while ago so thy are plenty healed, and another frag of Tubbs blues. I'll try to get a few LFS when I get home today

Took my skimmer offline for a couple weeks, or so, maybe less. I'm not comfortable with it and I'm going back to it today. Don't know what I was thinken, lol.
