Your 215g is looking great Bill!

[Texreefer]

Awesome tanks Bill,, very very very very niiiiice pics Ace :D

[tony]

great looking setup, nice pics too ace

[Bill S]

Wow. They look better here than in person. The cool thing is that just about every piece of SPS, Ace says "that's mine too? Yup.". Thanks for coming by and ALL of the advice.

[FireWater]

Looks good Bill. Does the egg crate serve another purpose besides structure for the rock?

Nice tine extension on the whitetail coral by the way.

[Bill S]

One of my closed loop intakes is under the egg crate. I originally had both of them set up that way, but when I added more rock, I needed to pull one out. It makes for a great "cave" for the fish, AND it pushes the rock higher in the tank. My corals are just doing great - I'm SO happy I dropped the Hiatts and went to a fuge. I'd like it if my nitrates were lower, but I'll settle for the general welfare of the tank recipients. I said to Ace, my BTAs look hungry. I'll feed them on Monday.

bill sweet tank but quick question have you had any issues with any of your coral getting top heavy? and taking a tumble?

[erikharrison]

would you like some tank with that bubble coral? ;) Nice tanks!

[Thunderkat]

The tank with the macro algae in it looks the best out of the two, both are incredible. Hopefully one day I can put together a tank that comes close to being as nice.

[Bill S]

The 55 has been up for 5 years. The 215 is a year old, but realistically, only a few months old due to problems I had last fall.

The live rock is tonga, and well connected together. I doubt it will go anywhere, unless we get an earthquake!

[erikharrison]

LOL, I'm to busy trying to count how many points that buck has ;)

[JeffCo]

Nice tanks, love the aquascaping on the 215.

[Bill S]

10, erik. My first bow buck. My little sister said the same thing...
