    It is seriously impressive. I just converted my frag tank into a Zoa tank for now (until I get a proper display for them) and this tank is proof that it does not have to be huge to be sweet looking!!!!

    Thanks Mike. I get that same response a lot. Like with past tanks, I started out with just simply too much rock. It's great to have a lot of rock as it offers places for corals to be placed and grow but it can make a HUGE tank look teeny tiny. I removed a pretty good size rock on the right side of the tank a couple of months ago and it made the biggest difference.

    I still find aquascaping to be one of the most challenging things in reefing.

    The one problem I see is that he has too many corals I don't have or want
    Haha....I'm always up for sharing Rob. Give it another month and I should have plenty of frags to trade/sell/whatever.

    You know what they say, good things come in small packages :D I actually find the smaller tank I have, the more I pay attention to details. Also, with a smaller water volume, it forces me to stay on top of things like dosing, water changes, etc.

    Glad you guys are enjoying it.

    The proportions are perfectly done. It gives the impression it is much larger than it is. Very zen...nicely done!

    Thanks Jim. Definitely took a little tweaking and changing to get it in it's current state.

    Holy cow! I just realized your tank is only 20. That top view makes it look like a 90...

    I really like your Superman. Great pics - it'll be a nicely packed tank when your corals grow out.

    Thanks for the compliment. The only downfall of having a smaller tank is that you are limited on the number of coral you can add. Now that things are starting to fill in a bit, I'll have to stay on top of trimming and keeping things away from one another.

    I'm definitely looking forward to some of my smaller frags taking off. The Icefire and Pink Lemonade continue to encrust.....wish they would just get on with branching already
