Update pic.

 

[nathan]

Looks great so far!

 

[Thion]

Thanks man I'm thinking about re-working the rock work but I'm not sure how I should go about doing that.. I know I should take the fish and inverts out but should I remove the corals too?

 

[Shooter000]

Nope dont do it, leave the rock work alone, looks good, nice little islands of rock popping out of the sand with a even smaller one on the left

:remember what mama always told ya " don't be playing it"

Same rule alplies Here keep your hands out of it and leave it alone

LMAO

 

[nathan]

I agree with shooter... you have it looking great and i wouldn't disturb it

 

[Franco]

Nice little set up, be carefull with the monti cap they are going to block the ligth...for my self i prefer in bottom or middle

 

[Thion]

Thanks for the feedback guys I think you're right and I'll keep it the same. The rock work is pretty far off the wall that the monti is attached to so it will be a while before it covers anything. If and when it gets to that point I'll frag it down and start over again

 

[Thion]

Here's a few update pics. I got a couple new corals, my hermit crab is scaling a wall, my clownfish hosts my paly and just some close ups showing some growth on my zoas

 

[Thion]

It's been almost a year since my last update on this tank so I thought I would share the progress with everyone.

Here's a shot from February of 2017

And here's an update from one year later:

I've only removed the brown paly and green monti, everything else has stayed and thrived thus far. There were a few additions from frag fest last year (very excited for it this year > ) I have a new 110 that I'm currently setting up and will be making a separate thread for that once it's up and running .

Tank is looking good.
Nice progress. Keep up what you're doing!
