@halmus do you have any pics of your Washington State tank? I think you had posted some once but the link was dead...I want to see all the magical SPS goodness!
Omg I just spent the last hour reading this thread from beginning to end... all I can say is DREAM BUILD!
When I move back to Colorado hopping to see this tank in person!!! Ahhhhh my mind is still going!!! Definitely drooling for sure
Keep up the amazing work and thank you sooo much for sharing this experience

I have a 45 gallon AIO tank that I’m hopping to move back. (live stock and all)
I’ve spent the last 3 years hand picking every coral and every fish that I’ve added to my tank. I just can’t part ways with them so I fragged everything selling the colony and moving things back. Wish me luck
I am just trying to learn my DSLR. I have some images taken with AUTO settings but nothing else to work with as I'm away from home at the moment. I'm using Lightroom to edit the photos and make them presentable. So, they're heavily altered.
Also, I've got a LOT of room to fill in my tank. That's a good thing but doesn't make for the best full tank shots. I've got a few small colonies that are doing well like a Raspberry Shortcake, Fire & Ice Echinata, and a PC Rainbow. They're all about fist sized. Otherwise, most frags are just that, small frags.

Thanks Mike. The coral that’s in the tank is doing well. Not the growth I’d like on some but I think things will continue to improve as the tank matures.
Thanks. I modeled it off of a guy’s tank in Thailand (search DSPS tank from Thailand). Loved his build and tank. I hope I can approach his level of success someday.
Thanks Chris. I’ve got a few corals growing almost to the point where I need to fire up the frag tanks. Others are so slow in establishing that it will still be years.
I’ve tried not to place larger colonies too high where they’ll start shadowing lowers before they grow in. Somehow, I still think that will be a problem. The PC Rainbow is doing great. So is the Strawberry Shortcake which I couldn’t help putting at the top of the arch. Both will be a problem a year from now. I guess that’s a good problem to have.
