Ty nice thread for sure it should hit 100k views, some things just have momentum virally- pretty neat. It's a tuning and timing thing~

Those frag plugs are coated ceramics, love em

Sealed

Rough Velcro side glued to one, baddest pico algae scraper on the planet

And I'm proud to say those sps plating monti frags up top are produced on trash strips.

I give you my word they're on trash strips out of my alley, standard water bottle trash. I look for one not packed with skoal, leaning towards standard discards heh, and then take it inside and wash it and clip out some strips

Throw the rest out, heh.

Strips and magnets super glued, break off ears of growth from all three above, get rid of one, start a new frag by gluing the ears along the breakpoint onto the trash strips. Sealed in each red plating montipora is some of my alley trash and we can feel ok about that

Kessil twisted all to white setting

Green brain coral used to be three polyps+ polycarbonate strip as the gluing plank for the coral

Wednesday edit: prime example, polycarbonate battery AA case has been laying on my unswept porch. Blew in from the unknown. That's three more planks. Rinse and cut:

;Jawdrop That is one gorgeous tank. Well done, sir. I don't know that you even need blues

If you have time, what are the big purple colonies? Left is a staghorn? What about the other three?

The big bright purple one near the front is the old school purple formosa. Next is a yellow tip austera, possibly Barney Fife. Then the original Cali tort (the one that grows real slow). After that, I'm not sure, just a couple cool tri colors, Blue matrix, purple slimer.

Mine under my warm white cannel...

May i ask please why the placement of powerhead are facing each other and on top?

That is the only way I can mount them (tank is filled with rocks and corals). It's kind of the best placement for me as I can create alternating rolling wave motion from end to end, corals seems to like it very much. The pumps is not facing each other, they are pointed at the corner, opposite the other pump. Swirling and rolling wave motion.

This is kind of what I was going for. I guess I didn't account for all of the cool white lights out there! I still need to post mine under natural sunlight, which I will do whenever I get back home.

Just out of curiosity, how do you have your powerheads configured? I feel like the "opposite ends facing each other" is a 'standard' setup. Interested in seeing yours!

I'm having problems fixing them to be honest. I can't find the right spot

I have them on each other side but not facing each other.

12k white enough

Very impressive tank. One questions though; Are the tanks braces under water? The picture makes it look like it but, I couldn't imagine it functioning like that.
