Absolutely stunning! I didn't know that you could have such success with a small SPS tank. You're making me want to have an SPS nano!

Thanks Adam, Chris, Bill, Hoang, & Kelli

Well the nano buildoff is just about over- it was started back in oct-nov sometime. But maybe they can get another one going pretty soon? I would PM gregt and let him know you are interested in seeing another one. Maybe this can be an annual event on TRT? I really enjoyed having this tank

This tank is a huge distraction for me. Once I starting checking on it, I'm still there 2 hours later! I just love it.

I added a black background the other day- just chopped up some felt that I had laying around. I'm still waiting on some good coralline growth- got a little on the powerheads and heater for now. The rocks just look sooo white though.

Your tank looks awesome. You should check out my tank in the Nano forum. I only started my new 12 gal about a month ago, but we have a similiar setup. Just came across your thread today. Funny.

Your tank looks great- I just checked it out!!

Here is a montipora digitata from scientificcoral.com
This grows very fast and it's the biggest SPS in my nano- time to frag it.
