I get called out sometimes on "frag tanks" but to be honest, 95% ( or more maybe) has grown form a 1" frag, smaller if I'm being from certain vendors
Thanks Rev! Long path to get here and many years of "lessons" but as mentioned earlier I am really happy with how the new tank is shaping up.
This last weekend I spent a few days siphoning all the sand (almost, I have about 40ish pounds to go) out and replacing it with a larger grain. Initially I went with Fiji Pink I think was the name, sand size was .5-1.2mm and way to small, I was cleaning sand from the cup coral daily. I went with something very similar to the sand I had before the replacement (which was Seafloor special) that's 1.0-2.0mm, MUCH happier.
Since I have no room for corals in the display it's just fine tuning things these days, thankfully I have my frag tanks to keep me "occupied". With regard to the frag tanks, they need some serious pruning to make space for pieces I've had in QT the last month. Time to take some mini colonies to my local fave reef store, maybe post another cut to order sale thread
More pictures to come, thanks for looking and commenting

Hahaha I appreciate the offer, it's good to have close reefers
Hey Jeff, how are the frags doing? I won't have much new stuff but definitely need to thin the herdReady to look at the shopping list.

Nearly every piece has started as a frag
The branched piece is the one I posted the pic, in the display its really started to take off.
Thanks!! It's quite the site while "chillin" on my sofa
Thanks for all the nice comments, makes the time spent worth it and glad I can share!

So this weekend I decided to throw in the towel with my acan collection that I've been building over the last 5 years. X collected some rare pieces that's for sure- I just have fallen out of love[emoji22]
I guess I'm going to stick with SPS-I've done the mushrooms the zoas, acans, chalices and I always come back to the sticks
Here is an older picture

Wow. Beautiful fish. I bet it makes you smile seeing that fish in your tank. I missed the last post notification, but dang, those acros look hot!
I am planning an upgrade. Can you confirm which return pump you are using and the total sizeof your system? Many thanks.

Thanks my friend, the Regal is a gorgeous fish and a favorite with my wife, she really loves the Red Tamarin but the Regal swims up to the tank when you you're there and is really personable.Wow. Beautiful fish. I bet it makes you smile seeing that fish in your tank.

Congrats on the upgrade, I look forward to seeing a build thread!! I use a dart/snapper hybrid with the dart impeller which is plenty for a return-I run 6 QD in the tank for movement which is probably overkill but most of what I do in reefing is ( as in 6 frag tanks LOL)
Thanks for the compliments on the acros, I got a new lens so hopefully more and better pics to come!
