As per the rules I also uploaded a picture of my sump to photobucket but had problems posting the pics onto thread so I had to enlist the help of gerwin. He posted those pics for me so I figured if the ones he posted were good enuff for him, they'll be good enuff for the contest. Hehe..
But seriously, I like ur aquarium dude. In the first highlight pic wuts that round orangey coral beneath the toadstool? Is that a scoly? And wut type of sps corals do u have?

LOL! Are you sure Gerwin isn't working against you?!

Thanks for the compliments. The orange guy is a Scolymia I did get it from our fav LFS. I feed it mysis-it can eat 4-5 at a time. That sucker has got a mouth!

I put water in the tank on Sept 10th of last year. Right now I've got a Pocillopora and a red Monti. cap. My next one will be an Acro.

Nice, you need to get me a bleeding apple scoly for when I come back home. I've seen 4 or 5 up here but really don't want to transport a piece that expensive.

Oh yeah, the tanks are looking good guys but I know we have more than 3 people on here in this category.

X2.. I was just playing but real talk I have seen Bleedy apple scolys for a little over a hundred before and some all the way up to $300. The ones on the low end were mostly green with about only 1 or 2 thin red stripes.

Well finally got some new pics of mine. Well see if this posting thing works. Took a picture of my under the cabinet but I just have the Fluval under there. the frontal doesn't show but I have the Reef Ocopus 2000 hang on. The tank has been up and running for the last 6 months. Think that is about it.
