Ian, do plates and chalices encrust on to your barebottom? Wondering what your strategy is with all those corals on the bottom and how you handle that.

Lovely collection as usual... It's even better in person.

Only one of my chalices' actually encrust on to the bare bottom. To prevent that one from encrusting I just move it a bit every couple weeks. Plates do not encrust to the bottom of the tank either.

Thats just messed up Ian, You were looking at my tank thinking about how awesome yours is

 

[Knucklehead]

[iani]

LOL, Mark.

Knucklehead, if I had to guess it is 4-5 inches right now. Its been a good grower for me.

Congrats. Now get a house so you can set the big tank up.

Shazzam! Honestly Ian I think your tank had a ToTM quality for quite some time, it's all about exposure I guess though

Congrat, Ian ! It looks better in person.

Thanks Mike, Tony, Roy, and Bryan. I was corrected when I said TOTM, its ROTM. jk

Congrats Ian.. Your tanks look great man. I haven't seen any other frag tank that has that many nice coral in there.

Yeah that black substrate really sets off the contrast of colors too.
