thanks saddie, yea I'm really happy with the new aquascape. I have all my shrooms and softies in 2', a wall of zoas in the next two feet, and LPS, SPS and clams on the other 2'. when it all fills in I think it will really look sharp. Its weird though every time you rearange rock you never know what you'll get but this time I think it worked out well. The middle took the biggest change because I sold off those 3 rocks full of capnella to make room for more zoas, but the "hard" end got rearanged out of pure accident. I was blowing off the rock when a frag of orange M digi fell behind the rock and I had to tear it all apart to find it. Then you know it how it is - it never quite fits back the way you had it so it took me two days to get it stacked but I think I like the change..........for now anyway:)

The growth patterns in the second pic are very interesting, I wonder what is causing that.

yea me too..........it was in a frag tank (shallow) at dr F+S with a lot of flow and 250 MH 20K's - i can't wait to see if it continues that contorted tabular growth or if now under my less intense lighting it starts to grow more upward????????

well so far so good - no sign of flatworms yet..........

i rearanged all the rock but still somewhat familier overall....i am realy trying to get the profile down and have removed at least 80 lbs of rock over the last year but still i think i want to go lower yet.......maybe that will be ver 115.3
but for now here is a shot of my clam end still placing some corals and may rearange a bit yet but its a start



and this is a shot of my first fish, a tomini tang



and then one is just for fun...... i started a zoa rock that is flat, right up front, and about 6" x 8" big. i am putting 6 -8 polyps from each of my favorite colonies on there to let them grow together these are my orange glows

thanks for looking and your comments everyone
ed - just wait till those shrooms and zoas fill that center back in - i fragged very heavy for that swap but now its back to grow-out time :)
"eds rock" is in figi......... i have three zoa frag cluster rocks in my figi tank - yours, mine and alex's, and the one from zomania. eds rock LOVES the flow and the bright light it gets in there!!! eds rock 2 comes out of QT tomorrow and its going to go to figi too to see how it does in there......
this tank (the 125) has my other cluster rock, my best mother colonies, one i got from alex, and all my new ones from the frag swap. figi isn't quite ready for updated pics yet, but when i do update that post you'll see your rock - its prominetly displayed in there :)
