i just read through this entire thread and all i can say is Cody your tank looks absolutely amazing! now i want a SW tank! i think the YWG is sooo adorable! keep the updates coming plz!

Cody

Thanks everybody!

Big day today. I purchased 3 small Kenya Trees and probably 3-5 blue mushrooms from a fellow reefer on Craigslist (for $20), and then a frag of Pulsing Xenia (two kinds on one plug) from a LFS. Acclimating now.

Pics to come.

nice! ive heard kenya trees over your tank

Cody

Well, I just epoxy and glue for the first time in tank history. Not the best job, but hey, it works.

Xenia was put in a hole on a back rock. One Kenya Tree was glued to a rock (it was unmounted) and epoxyed near my GSP, another was on a HC shell and was put on my top left rock, and the last on a frag tile is on my frag-rack to grow.

Pictures will come when everybody is happy and the water is clear.

Looking awesome cody, that kenya tree is as lanky as mine is.

Cody

Thanks Blue.

It is the next day, and all the corals are happy. The xenia is pulsing everywhere and seems like it grew already, and the white kind is "full." The Trees and Shrooms are huge now too.

I am running out of room! I want to put another kind of Zoas behind my Brown/Green ones, something on the sand next to my plate (Oh, I wish I could fit another Plate in there), and then something near my Kenya Tree on the Shell.

My next tank will have a lot of room on the sand...Why? Because I love Plate Corals and Clams.

Cody, It looks amazing! I love it. The day I decide to set up a S/W I will use these pics to be a tank copy cat!
