Awesome! It is a lot of fun to watch other folks tank spring to life. Especially when I can just sit and enjoy the pics without doing any work.

I'm tired!

Re: MY 55g build

Thats great.
I had a HH zoa that showed up on my original live roc 4 months after It had been in the tank. It grew to a colony of over 150 polyps in about 6-7 months.

Ah, that's how it happens. Everything is all nice and contained then WHAMMO!! It's everywhere!

I like the slanted baffles too, that's a good idea to get more room in the middle.

Looking foreward to the progression!
