Beautiful and richly colored corals mate, that long ledge will look awesome once the acros grow outwards and towards the front from it. Great use of color contrasts when you were placing corals

Thanks for your comments. I find it hard to get good fish shots because of both my camera limitations and particlarily my lack of photo skills. corals are easy to photograph because they don't move much.

Thank you, I am looking forward to things to growing & filling in. The ledge is much more broken up in person, the picture doesn't show that very well. the shelf rock doesn't just run straight across the way it looks in the picture. I'll try and get some pictures that show better definition of the 'ledge's edges'

Once again, the old SPS master shows us how it's done.
Great job on the re-work Greg...love the layout with the shelving. Your blue granny still is one of our favorite pieces ever.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and for the kind words. I was away from the board for a few years, didn't think anyone would remember me.
Congrats on your TOTM for Jan - your reef looks fantastic!

Recently dug DEEP into my pockets & took the plunge with a few Reef Raft pieces.
Here is a picture of one of the frags - the so called "Banana Split"

Thank you. I use a doser - always have. I'll dig up some equipment shots when I can.

Beautiful corals Greg.

In your TOTM article, there is a picture of a lamp with a magnifying glass in the middle right by the sink in your fish room. Could you tell me what that thing is called and where you got it? I've been looking for something like that.

Thanks.

Thanks, I think I got the light at Home Depot - model number LT86
http://www.lt-tools.com/magnifier.html
After having one for many years now I couldn't be without one. Great for inspecting corals, etc. Having it mounted over the sink is very convenient for me so I can also inspect the 'dip water' & see what's in the bucket before introducing new corals into my system. Without a lighted magnfier it is even harder to catch AEFW eggs and other potential problems.
I would recommend this for any serious reefer, especially those into SPS.
