I am on cloud nine. Yesterday my wife surprised me and told me that she found and bought a 650 gallon acrylic tank. The guy who owned the tank has been in the hobby for over 30 years and has accumulated a tremendous amount of equipment. In the sale not only did I get the tank but I got to 90...
Crazy thought... I've always loved the look of these beautiful sumps with immaculate equipment in it and it's been made to be on display just like the tank. Obviously, a setup like that requires consistent maintenance on the sump to keep it looking so sparkly! Do you think that having a...
Im quickly learning that I have an LPS obsession and am running out of room on my sand bed to space things out between my acans, gonis, scoly, And trachy. I know that Trachys can get pretty aggressive with nearby corals but what about Scolys? I’d ideally love to have 3-5 scolys grouped...

I’ve got a gorgeous torch that is definitely one of the showpieces die my tank. I love the color and movement of it it’s one of if not my favorite corals. But this jerk is huge and it’s stinging everting in an 8-12 inch radius. I’m trying to figure out a better placement for it to avoid issues...

I’ve got 2 beautiful maxima clams burrowed in my rock work so moving them would be tough. I’ve got a torch that had been growing like a weed and is sweepers are starting to get close to the clams, will this be an issue?
If you want to skip to the pictures, might be a good idea. I had some time on my hands.... My name is Russell and I am a huge University of Kentucky Wildcat fan just in case the member ID didn't give it away. I live in far Western Kentucky where the men are men and the sheep are nervous. Wait...
