Ah!! She found us!
Nice to see the tank on display over here... oddly enough I still like it!! Any exotic plans for the future, or is it just a "let it roll" from here?

Very nice tank nanogurl. How did you do the pillars? Is it just stacked, glued or pinned in place?

Looks different for sure. I think that you need more flow and I am still not sure that a LPS tank is better off being a BB so this will be interesting.
Great pictures!

Thanks GLX & Mike =)
I don't need any more flow then what I have for what I'm doing. The LPS do great up front where its calmer and the back and sides get the high flow to move the water around well. We'll see, but it's been at 1 - 3 nitrates for several weeks now. This is not going to be an SPS tank. |

Wow, very cool! Tank looks great. IME, the xenia and zoas do poorly in a BB tank because of the decreased level of nutrients. Almost all of my zoas slowly "disappeared".

I noticed similar results. Softies struggle to thrive in my system, though if shaded well they'll do alright.

I will update the thread with progress of my softies and lps. I've never heard that before so that's interesting to me to hear.
