    Alright another 200s (go big or go home...lol). I like the school of chromis alot.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    You could just fill all that empty space with coral colonies, i.e. acro tables.

    Looking good!

    naa i had one of those. it was a 150RR and was packed full of sps colonies.
    as nice as it was i wanted more fish and a more natural looking tank. the other thing is the cost of running the tank. after i figured it out it was costing me approximately 90 to 100.00 a month with water changes,electricity etc. if my calculations are correct
    this 210 should be around 20-30.00 per month after its all set up.

    I took and built boxes out of eggcrate, and then put the rock on top of and around it. Gave a cave for fish to hide in AND it made my rock go a lot further.
