All very nice, but I love the first one. Solar flare/Vamp morph?

Thanks mike. Those are vamps in drag from cherry corals. Must have been closed for a little while at the swap because I didn't notice them until right before I left. Glad I stopped at all the booths one more time before I left.

Thanks man. I can't wait for it to fill in either. Think I may start getting a little more sps to fill in some height

Was looking at the tank thinking that I needed a bit more "height" on the left side. About a week later Scott at alternative reef posted up some magnetic frag stations and I picked one up. Came in today and I am really happy with it. Here's a quick (terrible as usual) picture. Should look really good once it takes on some color and isn't so white.

Next project will be to paint the enclosure I made for the skimmer and then make a cabinet for the other side to house my controller and wiring.

That's pretty neat. How much was it if you don’t mind my asking?

It was $75. Holds 13 frag plugs. The quality is great. The magnet is super strong, I put it in place and wanted to slide it a bit to where I wanted it and there was no budging it. I had to separate the magnet to get it to move.

Here's a closer picture of it from the vendor. I'll try to take one tomorrow too

I really like that frag rack. I may need to get one.

I would recommend it without a doubt. I have seen them in others tanks and they look great once they get some color. After handling it and seeing the build quality I like it even more.

As of the 13th the tank is officially 1yr old. It's really cool to look back through this thread and see the progression.
