Thank you Matt for such nice and extended answer. Your corals looks great and the movie shows how well your tank is doing.
Well done !!! Daniel |

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
I have come across the term "negative space" for the first time in your thread Matt. I have read up on it. I hope you keep some negative space in your tank and resist the temptation to fill it up with more rocks and stuff. I can see this space in the front eroding already. Just saying.

Beautiful tank and great shots! I agree that the full tank top down is awesome! It's crazy to see how some of those large colonies are almost hidden from a full front view!

I actually just picked up two pieces like the twins, however they both came in white but healthy. Can't wait to see if they turn out like yours.
Beautiful shots as always! |
