Has it really been a year since you've posted anything about your tank? I've never seen so much coraline in a tank! I'm excited to see what you do with it!

Tank is lookin SWEET!!!!

nice tank cant wait to see more pictures

Thanks peeps, it looks a lot different now. That is an older pic, it is overgrown and in terrible need of attention. Now that the cube is up and running and I have most things transferred to the cube that I plan on moving, I will start the redestruction. lol I plan on lightening up on the rock, and probably carving up most of the coral and starting over. Thinking real hard about a basement sump too, but that probably won't happen til fall if at all. I will put up a couple pics of it looks like now either tonight or tomorrow...

Comparing the pics you'll notice most of the corals near the sandbed are gone. Good growth of the SPS on top left little light for the LPS and z/p's on the bottom. A few remnants remain but mostly dead skeleton.

It might be easier to tell in these pictures...

The only coral I am already having a hard time thinking about cutting up. It is easily larger than a dinner plate. I think I have broken two small pieces of it off in the 3-4 years. It has been the demise of several of my corals but I just can't get myself to trim it.

No real timeframe for this revamp, but it has officially begun.....

I really wanna see this. I've already learned so much from you and yet another lesson....

Wow those pics are awesome! I love mature tanks.

Update....a little more cleaning and all that is left is to buy stuff. :) It will be mostly sticks this time around with a few isolated zoa rocks on the sandbed.

2012 do-over

It wasn't planned but I never discouraged it. I will probably remove it as part of the do-over.
