Cool man yes yes we need pics

[gwaco]

aw! you got the bug bad ! i remember a time when you said - well you said this -



Gwaco, I have this image in the back of my head... An open tank, minimalistic. I want that staghorns to be wall-to-wall. So no place for other corals
What do you mean by filling it up? More rockwork and/or more coral? I'm curious

ha ! ha ! ha! its tough not to buy anything ! even when i go into the l.f.s. telling myself ' i have no room for anything ' i always buy something ! infact i bought two frags today !
this-



and this

[gwaco]

and the otherday this -



and this

[gwaco]

oh! and lest we forget about this !

its hard to stop isn't it ?

[Leonardo's Reef]

Nice corals!!! It is hard not to buy anything indeed... I still have the minimalistic open aquascape, I just filled the sides of the rock with LPS The LFS gave me such a good deal with the Lobo, Fungia's and Favites, I couldn't resist.
Actually, I don't have any room for colonies in my tank anymore, maybe for some little super-nice corals

Time to fill up the gaps with nice Zoanthus, JK

I know, still no pics, have to steal the Canon from my neighbour again

Okay, new pictures again. I just like to show them to you The last pics, including the FTS, are under actinic only.

Incl. The new stags right in the front. Also the lobophyllia and one Fungia (other not in the pic) You can also see the Red/Green Favites, the green hart is not visible now.

(*beware dial up - many pics*)

o.k. i think i'm gonna be sick again ! i'm not gonna stop till your tank is t.o.t.m. , its just turned out so sweet . i think that your tank would make many of the japanese tank owners envious !

Thank you very much Gary. I read about the RTN happening in your tank. I think it's about time that we find out what is causing this, and come with a solution... Too bad I can't come over with some frags or something.

I'm not sure TOTM will happen, I think it has a lot to do with knowing the right people But I can't be wrong of course... One dutch guy has been TOTM in the past, without ever posting one pic on RC (???) But I rather share my tank with you guys, without this forum I wouldn´t have this tank as it is today.

thanks leonardo , i'm a little bummed about what has happened , but i 'll live ! nothing like throwing a hundred bucks away . but i lay no blame . ** it happens ! as far as your tank and the t.o.t.m. , it doesn't have to do with whom knows whom , or the right people , its just their are so many tanks , it makes it hard to choose . but i'm pushin for ya !

[Leonardo's Reef]

Ok, then I was wrong about that Thanks for pushing btw! I don't consider my tank to be TOTM material, but it is a huge compliment that you think it is

Hope things get better in your tank,

Leonardo

Ah Leonardo, a thing of beauty!

[Jahreefer]

Sweet Cube, but it is just to clean; Out with it man and get that thing dirty...In the best sense possible!!!!!

[Leonardo's Reef]

Thanks guys!

This Millepora really has become better after the more feeding and Pappone. It's really growing and branching, and slowly get it's original colour back. (Red/brown with green tint)
