Very nice Ryan. Do you still have the dendronephthya in the first photo?

[iglowce]

no i dont. i lost it because i should have waited for my tank to mature a lil more.. but as of now, i think i have a much better understanding of my tank..and everything seems very healthy...

[CarmieJo]

I have one that looks to be about the same size and was curious what your experience was.

my monti's

i got this piece from a local hobbyist for $30. its not too great looking, as compared to my green. that happened to my green when i first got it. but now its looking much better

and my newest love of the tank:

Your tank looks great. Nice pics. I hope mine will be similar once I get things going.

I just checked your tank out.. Very nice. Can I suggest something? You tank would show much better if you had like a black back ground on the back glass. I painted mine flat black when I first started my nano. (on the outside of course). I'm sure there are some tape on black background you can find. You will fine you photos will look much better. I do like your tank!!

[iglowce]

i was thinking the same. would it be better if i use a black background paper or paint it?

[Victoria]

It would depend on how easy the back was to get too. And of course I don't like over spray around a reef tank. If I was you I would go for the paper. All new tanks that veiw front to back I would paint.
