hmm. good idea on slanting the baffles.

Very nice. If you haven't already, I would move those gorgs out of the sand. The portion that is buried will die off and the necrosis will continue it's way up the stalk to the rest of the gorg.

Tru2nr · 01-21-2008, 10:25 PM

The Fuge all filled up

FTS Including the fuge

they appear to be burried in the sand but upon full look they are attached to a peice of LR and that is what is burried in the sand

Tru2nr · 01-21-2008, 10:30 PM

ReefGuy69 · 01-21-2008, 10:39 PM

panmanmatt · 01-21-2008, 10:40 PM
