Hi guys,

Would like to see some photos of tanks with starboard bottoms that have aged awhile... meaning how they look a year later with coraline and other issues. I really like the clean look when they are setup.. but not so sure about how it looks as the tanks age.

Thanks for any help/photos =)

Here's a couple of pictures of the bottom of a tank that has been running for about a year.

Those Zoo`s are great! How long did it take for them to spread like that? I cant seem to get mine to do that. This tank is only a year old?
Thanks Mark

When the pictures were taken, it was. It is more like 1.5 years old now. They are pictures of TCU_reefer's tank.

i would think the increased flow over the bottom to keep the detritus suspended would also act to stimulate the rapid growth of the zoo's, that and good water and lighting of course..

that is really cool to have a "zooanthid bed" i would gladly run a remote DSB for that look..
