Very nice progress. Thanks for sharing! The lokani frag turned into
a very nice piece of eye candy. Your ORA Roscoe looks a lot like my ORA Chips.

My only wish is that you had a bit of sand... but I understand the BB phylosophy as well.

Really superb looking tank!!! I like how your keeping the back glass coraline free... it keeps it clean looking and brings out the silhoutte of the corals.

Thanks for sharing.

naka nice growth and pcs, with the ora chips acro and not much growth is that because it's shaded in the recent pic?
