Nice rock formation on the right! Did you epoxy rocks together to form it?

[ReDDeviLs]

i like the rockscape on the right, nice formation very open.

[lippyboy79]

Thanks, those are actually iwarna's aquaroche ceramic rocks on the right they are stacked on no epoxy did a same day migration when I upgraded so I mixed my live rocks with them.

Yup I hardly c anyone using it, it was set up by my previous tank maker. I thought since it was doing its job well might as well port it over to counter my huge bio load.

Nice setup. Keep the updates coming.

Latest fts, added a small clown tang and longnose butterfly after my longnose hawkfish mysteriously died.

Hope I can keep both alive as they are not easy fishes. Done with my fish load now its getting packed, goin to stock up corals.
