Plenty of rock IMO. More room for the corals to grow out.

I agree it's probably enough rock. As long as it keeps up with the bio-load it is for sure. I was only kidding about the rock but figured after adding more corals he'd need more rock to attach it to. :) This landscape looks so much "cleaner" then the typical rock wall and is refreshing. Bill did a great job on the landscape.

I really would love to hear any plans on additional fishes unless it's more of a wait till you see a fish you really like type deal...

well i come home today to look at my nice new tank and 5 colonies of sps on the left side look funky... i am on the phone with Richt and we are talking about it maybe being the new reflectors i added.. i changed from spiders to lumenarcs... so i look at the light and the stupid MH glass broke and it was still lit without UV protection.. i am gonna put a bulb in friday and hope to let the corals heal up for a day after being fried... this stinks, but i guess its growing pains... I don't know if it was a new lamp ( i added one from the 210) or just one of the old ones... :(

Ouch, sorry to hear that Bill. Hopefully a couple of "cloud days" with some good light afterwards and they'll come back.

Do you have the option of moving them down to the sand bed under a good light for a while?

Hey Bill,

A guy up the road from me is looking to get rid of 2 of his fish, but he's had them so long that he wants to make sure they go to a good home. His current tank is ~180ish, and he has a Naso tank that's at least a foot long (with nice streamers), and another tang, which looks like a unicorn w/o the bump, that's maybe 10 inches.

Any interest in such a thing? There's not too many people out there with tanks big enough for those guys, and he feels terrible that they can only swim like 10 of their body lengths before turning around.
