The three pink branching corals at the top are all Seriatopora (Bird's Nest). The lower pieces have long thin branches because I don't have high water flow. The topmost one is a different color variation and gets lots of direct flow.

I wish I could get the color balance better in my photos, I have a lot of problems with the LEDs washing out the SPS on top. The lighting works great for the tank, but it's tough to photograph with such a light level difference from top to bottom.

Thanks! but I think it will still appear beautiful tanks.

[JasonBJones]

Lotekfish- There is so much to love about your tank. Truly great aquascaping and superb coral placement. I love that it doesn't look like a ton of frags dumped into the tank but instead that every piece was selected for that spot. My only critique is the feather duster placement.

I have to concur, much prefer a tank that looks mature and has been set up for a while, as opposed to one that looks similar to a frag tank.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. This is turning out to be an interesting contest, we'll see how the voting goes. Manochio does have a beautiful tank also and is obviously very skilled in keeping SPS.

[Manochio]

Lotekfish: I agree, the competition is very interesssante. You also have a very nice tank, very clean and harmonic. Let's wait for the votes.

Good luck !!
