ed's rock too is awesome - i like it as much as ed's rock 1!! just starting to take off. love the two types of turqs, and those mini reds are really sharp looking - i want to wait one more month till i take a new pic for you after that really spread out. :)
sold/swaped a few zoas this weekend got a hairy shroom, some different turq zoas, and a zoa(paly/PE) they called wagon wheels. spent the money i had extra on an ugly acan - not the prettiest crayon in the box but it's my first so i like it anyway:
wagon wheel - here is one, i have three polyps. glows green under actinic

love this shroom - huge and gorgeous!

my ugly acan - hope it will color up some but its very plain now

i went to local club swap yesterday and traded my milli cluster rock for this "frag", it perfectly fit in my last SPS hole (well after moving the green digi to the back and the pink stylo to the front and the.... well you know what i mean) - it's huge, but fits so nice it looks like it grew there. i also got a really pretty small frag in the deal :)
- OK i know i said it before but this time i mean it - i'm done!

yea those caps/and encrusters are nice growers - i moved that purple rim right up front cause its on of my favs
alright jesse you got me on that one.... :)
as you can see from my frag tank i've already started preparing - i've basically sold out at the last two, but the competition is getting better - so i started early this year. but i do not intend to do much buying unless i find something that would improve the quality of my brood stock. i may have to branch out more into the LPS world if i see some acan/blasto/micros/echans that are really nice. but if i do that something else will have to go.....
so where did i put that crowbar again????

i guess your never done :)
well my pet rock from the fiji tank is now in the 125 and the leathers are in the hex, and my fiji tank is now a frag tank

i'm getting a bit of an algae bloom due to disrupting the sandbed so much lately during all the reaquascaping - but hopefully it doesn't last long

in general i'm happy with the new scape - very open looking with a lot of sand, but i have a zoa mountain in the middle that still looks like a wall of rock - not sure how to "open" it up. it just looks like a pile of rock - kinda blaaah... i have too many rocks with zoas on and its hard to stack them just right
but i'm getting there - pics soon

Really incredible John. You keep posting these pics and you are going to force me to change my tank over to SPS!

I love when you post progress shots!

yea thats where i'm heading with the 125 - it was hard to make the decision to change over cuz i have leathers and shrooms 10+ years old but i just love the colors and watching them grow is amazing:
check out this sequence:
the beginning

very nice John. So when you get a new frag, do you just lay it down on it's side and allow it to attach to the rock that way? I have heard that that method is more natural than attaching the frag sticking up with the cut end glued to the rock.

thanks guys
jesse digis do much better when glued that way - but the stuff i frag for sale i glue upright cuz they look "bigger" faster
