Pics added later in thrdCouple of full shots of new set up.

Still playing with the aquascaping at the close end.--the jumbled part on the huge piece of Tonga Shelf rock.

Sorry the coral colors don't show. It's hard on a full shot with the MH's on.

Thanks Joshua, it's from AquaticEcosystems.com

Yes I like it, they are just so darn big. A thread on RC talked about cutting them down. If you look closely at the other end I have one lower that is cut. It really does seem to push just as much water.

Thanks!

Trying to keep the rocks lower this time for more sps growth room.

[ChrisL]

Looks real good! what size tank is that?

[TexasTodd]

[Thunderkat]

That is nice! Well done ^_^

[bigdscobra]

Very nice need to stop by and check it out! 8)

[z28pwr]

Looks good Todd.

[TexasTodd]

Thanks guys. Most of the corals were a little rough from the transfer, but are doing well now.

Bummer is I lost three of my favorite colonies in the old tank before the new one was set. I'm not sure really what caused it. Possibly some sub par water parameters and then a bacterial infection that spread. All seems better now though and I love the bare bottom.

[Louis]

Lookin killer! You're gonna have to invite me over to check it out!

[TexasTodd]

No problem Louis.

If you keep brining all those goodies in I'm going to need a NEW bigger tank! :sick

Todd

[gjuarez]

wow, it looks great todd. That is going to be one hell of a tank once things grow out a bit more. I like the eductors that you are using and the starboard, it reminds me of Bomber's tank.

[TexasTodd]

From Jerry" it reminds me of Bomber's tank." ;)

Thanks Jerry I hope it GROWS like Bomber's tank!

Todd

[::pete::]

I cant believe I missed this :o

This of course looks much better in person than those pictures show and there are some "RARE" corals in there too!! Not ebay rare, but the real deal.

Sweet setup Todd!

Didn't put in any sand? Great set up. Congrats.

[TexasTodd]

No sand. Trying a different method.

Several others in MAAST are already bare bottom before me.

Just want to try way that may work better for me.

Thanks Pete.

[GaryP]

Not ebay rare, but the real deal.

You mean rare as in double the market price for them just because we tag them as rare?

[TexasTodd]

Nope Gary, that's the "ebay rare". :roll

Todd

[NaCl_H2O]

Looks great Todd :) Now for some close ups :pics ;)

[Thunderkat]

I agree, more pictures please! ^_^

[Tim Marvin]

E-bay rare...... I love that...LOL 99% of the stuff I see on E-Bay is pretty common, but they call it rare and super rare.....LMAO.....

[Tim Marvin]

I wonder how the guy fair that was selling the rare anemones that washed up on the carpet.....LOL remember he was selling aptasia.

[TexasTodd]

Here's a few more. Couldn't get decent pics of some stuff like Paletta Blue, Pink, and green w/pink tip.

[TexasTodd]

Second pic is MUCH brighter in real view.

Last one is a cool white branch with pure white polyps M. Digitata I found.

Many of the corals are still coloring up from the move. Plus I changed lights, ballasts, and reflectors so I'm having to figure out where each one is happy all over again.

Todd

[gjuarez]

Wow, those are really nice Todd. Where did you get them if you dont mind me asking?
Jerry

[TexasTodd]

1. Tenius was a trade with Sue Truett in Houston.

[gjuarez]

Thanks Todd, I guess there is still some places that I need to visit in San Antonio. More pictures please, we all want them.

[TexasTodd]

I guess I'm limited for photos on the thread. Not really sure what is allowed.

Green Mako is going to put some more up somehow. I'm not the best with a computer.
