Robert, I simply love your tank. It's minimal but full and rich with color. I'm consumed with the Monti on the glass wall. How did you attach that? Also, what is the size of this tank?

cheeks69 · 09-19-2007, 01:46 PM

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Scott what I did was to epoxy small frags onto the sidewalls then they will encrust the sides as they grow and the tank size is a custom 93 gal 30x30x24" a "cubish" tank.

Yes it is and I'm sure I'll have to frag it again soon as it beginning to shade other corals but I don't usually ship corals just to many problems with shipping co.

Really nice tank Robert. A question Robert. Do I see that correct, you stuck the corals in the background directly on the overflow and the rear wall? I did not see such a thing yet, but looks very good.

BigAl07 · 09-19-2007, 02:56 PM

It looks like Robert has figured out the key to coralline growth. I think he sprays it on

Looks amazing Robert! Makes me envious!!

That would be correct Heinz, it's a pink Acro. Millepora. This is what I do when I run out of space...lol

Thanx Allen

Looks awesome Robert! Are you missing a clam? I seem to remember more.

cheeks69 · 09-19-2007, 06:04 PM

Thanx Frankie.
Yes I have a couple of Croceas that had to be moved because they were being shaded by the Green Millepora on the rock in the center of the tank, so you can't see them in a FTS. As things are growing it's becoming quite difficult to make sure anything light demanding isn't being blocked

Cheeks, I was looking at this thread at work (on break!) and a couple people walked by and saw your tank. "WOW! That is really cool!! Is that your tank?" Me: "Yes."
