The reef display in the atrium of the Bellagio. Impressive attention to detail! Happy Memorial Day reef nerds :cheer2:

Its bittersweet, like when your kid leaves for college: you learned how to keep all these fish & coral and they grow big, then start to kill each other. Without constant trimming, changing the rockscape, tank upgrades you would be left with 1 mean fish and 1 gigantic coral, and a trail of dead...

1 year mark of my 90g attached refugium. Seagrasses (turtle grass, shoal grass and manatee grass) and red mangroves growing well. Calcium reactor effluent (pH 6.4) bringing in CO2. But unlike a freshwater planted tank, this is feeds my SPS reef, so I cannot use much nitrogenous fertilizers...

I just wanted to share my pics of the 500g mixed reef tank at the Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Museum at the National Mall in Washington DC. Someone on RC did a thread on this 3 years ago, since then the tank has matured now having fewer but much larger colonies...

looking for as many different in-stock, ORA frags on their black plugs, in the los angeles area. frag packs would be great. im trying to minimize the number of transitions from ORAs facilities to my tank, so no frags of frags. lineage is key here. and I dont want them shipped.
