[Gregcoyote]

FTS? Don't know that one...

 

[FTMMWS]

Oh,,...sorry
Full Tank Shot

 

[Gregcoyote]

It wraps a corner and has seven sides. Front side was one piece of 3/4" acrylic bent at two points to make the corner.

Nice tank very jealous

 

[leftyfish]

Great tank, love the photos, how big is it, looks like a monster!

 

[scubasteve03]

Really nice set up I see that you love mushrooms lol im a mushroom fan myself but not as many as you have

 

[Gregcoyote]

The shrooms just happened, started with just a few, now it's in the hundreds.
Reef is 250 gallon and the system is 400 gallons total.

 

[scubasteve03]

Lol I have 2 frags and one small rock of mushrooms hopefuly it wil get that big

 

[Gregcoyote]

That's what is so cool about this hobby, if the parameters are met, they will grow, like weeds. But the margin of error decreases with the type and number of the corals.

Wow! Drooling.

The two on the right are the frags doing prety good looking at your makes me thing I need a few more frags

 

[Gregcoyote]

You can always get more frags. It's like looking a nice display tree in someone's yard. Do you plant a seed and wait 20 years, or do you do the transplant thing? I am always looking for more frags, but the big colonies that grow, i like to leave alone as much as possible. That is what a healthy reef looks like, some predominate large corals with other compatible species at chemically predetermined distances. I break this rule a lot because "I want one of those" hits me at the LFS, but I try to keep a trend going.

As always... Stunning. I never get tired of looking at photos of this tank.

 

[Ricksreef]

Terrific looking

 

[Gregcoyote]

It turned out that having the mushroom growing everywhere, with selected coral growing among them was the look I was after. It covered a lot of naked rock. Just took a long time.

I would say im more of the seed watchin grow type I like to see how much my corals grow. Its cool when you see old pics and you get to injoy it more, kind of like you grew them lol

 

[redsea]

Beautiful corals!

 

[Gregcoyote]

I agree...but with SPS it's like watching ice freeze.
