You can see in this pic the GHA is starting to burn itself out nicely... not much left at all really

More recent pic of underneath

Roots! (the girlfriend says they look like "dog wieners" haha!)

Planning on getting some SPS frags, couple more zoa colonies, maybe some nice LPS pieces for xmas so I'll be sure to get some updates going when I have them! Thanks for checking out my build!

sigh! ....was really hoping this was a for sale thread ...lol


LOOKS GREAT ! ...how does that kessil work for ya?

 

[smellslikeTUNA]

Great so far! zoa colony has definitely opened up more then it was at the store, and the hammer seems to be enjoying it as well. Will have to post some updates on how the SPS goes (I am a little limited on placement having only 1 Kessil, I have another on my xmas list... but, we'll see ). Plus I really love the color of the 10k and the shimmer it produces is amazing.
