I know what you mean about the tank and the green factor. :p They are an extra expense, but it is an addiction that pays off with personal satisfaction and mine gives me a sense of "well being". I do like your tank set up and the corals that you have. You mentioned about the fish, but I really don't remember seeing a thread on how long your tank has been set up and the coral size selections. My 90g has only been up and running for a few months now and I was trying to get a visual on 6 months down the road. :up: Thanks.

Sorry I just realized I haven’t put up how long the tank has been up and running.
Total about 2 years but in the pics about 6 mths in that current state. All the corals and fish have slowly been added over the two years.
The 5 leather corals you can see all come from the one coral, it was fragged into 5 pieces as it was getting to big in the one spot. One or two of them are due to be done again as they grow rather quickly. The green mushrooms were one of the fist corals added to the tank and have spread to what you see now. (i think there was only three to start with)

Thanks for getting back with me. I really like the leathers that you have. They are georgeous. Your tank just looks so pleasing and relaxing, it must be awesome viewing it at night. All you need now is the sound of waves rolling the shore and it's sleepy time. :)
