    Very impressive tank especially in consideration that it appears to be fairly low tech relatively speaking and well planned and customized to fit your needs, which makes it all the more impressive to me. Very few instances in the five years since I moved and broke down a 120g softy tank do I consider starting it again. Seeing your tank pics is one of them. Thanks for sharing with us.

    Everything looks great, very healthy. Good luck with the baby clowns. I haven't been out of saltwater long enough to miss it yet, but I still have all my equipment. Probably not smart in case I get tempted.

    Was just thinking as I was admiring the reef today that I have not updated the thread in a while. Here are some new photos of my "Hairy Green Mushroom" colony. It started about 5 years ago with just 4 small mushrooms and now I have about 100 or so. I have so much I am going to start trying my hand at fragging a bunch of them to sell.

    The top view is very impressive!

    Very nice! Thats a massive colony. They look nice but not something I want in my tank for fear of it taking over haha. Those star polyps are nice too, considered getting myself another small frag of that, let it cover the bottom of my tank but haven't yet.

    Thanks Matt. The star polyps started as a small 2" x 2" patch, now it is about 8" to 10" square. Got that about 3 years ago I think, maybe 2?
