I tell ya its the spike of green acro that make your tank really pop. awesome

Stylo328 · 10/08/2013, 09:02 PM

Great looking tank and good write up. It's impressive to see how your tank has thrived in spite of the AEFW. a testament to your husbandry. I wish you well in eradicating them.

Congrats,a beautiful tank.

rdamaro · 10/18/2013, 10:16 AM

Beautiful. Great Job.
I was curious. How long has this tank been set up? You mentioned in the article that some of your corals started out as tiny specs. Did most of your livestock start as frags or did you purchase large specimens?

Thanks for the inspiration. This November will by one year for me and my tank.
Thanks
