It's been awhile since I posted a few pics of my....habit
I've been changing around my tank quite a bit lately in an effort to create more swimming room and open space.....although from photos, it still looks a bit crowded. I've removed probably 300lbs of rock and many corals over the last few weeks in this pursuit. As my corals have grown....I'm finding it necessary to make changes. So, now....there are fewer ....but larger corals. Also, there is pic of a couple of my clams and one of a bright green leather that I acquired a month ago.....I'm not really a leather fan, but this one is nice.

Looks incredible as always. I swear, if I'd never seen it in person I might not believe your tank was real. Did you move the Tort up and back, or does it just look different without that ridge of rock somewhat in front of it?

Hi Steve, your tank (have an understatement)
is looking better every time I see it.
I wish I was in your neck of the woods when you started thinning out.
That leather is sweet.

Steve as always your tank is amazing! Since I am in your neck of the woods, if you ever need to find a home for some of the stuff you thin out, just let me know and maybe we could work something out. Thanks, Neil
Oh, by the way, your website on your tank is quite impressive.

Thanks everyone...i'm glad that you like it. We always want to add things....sometimes it's hard to remove things.
Melix...yes, the tort got moved a little higher in an effort to widen the entrance to the canyon.
