Yours is the best tank I've seen so far in person.

That's quite the compliment Kevin. Thank you! Perhaps you just need to get around more.... Lol jk
I sent a PM to Torx with all the names so that he can put them into the post that Nexusnight made....I figured this would be the easiest and cleanest way to do it.

LOL yea that's because most of my "nicer" pieces are still smaller.....I guess hidden gems like to stay hidden haha
Maybe I can entice Nexusnight to come back again some time and capture a few more.....I know he missed some

Lol.  Always ready to talk coral.  I'm pretty brown still (thought that was more fitting than green since it's the colour most of my corals go. Lol ). So I will likely do more listening than talking.

Hey Ben, wanna sell that dragon soul yet??

 

[nexusnight]

I'd be glad to come out again and do some more. Still have lots of space to fill in my tank so more frags are needed.

How long has your tank been running for Ben? You have some nice growth on those corals.

Thanks Dave!! I'm still envious of your mixed sps and chalice tank......
Your welcome here anytime buddy.

Thanks Joey!! I was kinda hoping you wouldn't get out again.....

How long has your tank been running for Ben? You have some nice growth on those corals.

Well the tank itself probably just over 5 years but it has gone through numerous changes.....finally found something that is working and I'm happy with I guess..... But yeah 5 years later lol
Some have been good growers and others have been sooooooooooooo slooooooow...... Id love to show you some pieces I've had for equal amounts of time and the differences in growth are astounding.

Ben's prices all just went up 

Just for you.....

Wow. Sexy sexy !! Great job.  Insert slow clap. Really phenomenal.

Thanks Pat! I've always considered myself phenomenally sexy....

super incredible setup!!!  totally blows one away

Thanks!! I've been keeping an eye on your build too....makes me wish I had more pics and info from the beginning.

Big thank you to Torx for getting some names to those corals previously posted!!!!
I have also updated my original post with some more info and pics
I am hoping to get some more pics up soon.....stay tuned!

In the meantime, this little "not so stick" coral...well chalice I guess.... Is really winning me over!! Anyone know what it is??

Here is another picture of it....no it's not Miami Hurricane but for reference here it is again to the right of the popular Pumpkin Patch (Miami Hurricane).... So, what's on the right then??
First person to guess it gets a free Tricolour frag or equivalent of my choice!!!

Good Luck! Hobbyists only!!
