    Anyone on here have a tank that's wicked grown-in? By that, I mean very few frags and lots of colonies. If so, let's see some pics! It seems that some hobbyists just want to frag everything to sell. I definitely prefer the aesthetics of a full tank with huge colonies that have been growing for years!!

    Here are some pics of my old tank it was about 8 months old at this point. I took it down about 2 years ago in preparation to move. Then I didn't move for another year and a half /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/angry.gif

    Dang! That's a nice tank and for only 8 months old you must have had incredible growth!

    Yeah it was growing like crazy. I'm tankless at the moment but currently gathering equipment for my new build. Hope to at least have the quarantine tanks up and running by the end of next month.

    Is slovan still around? I would love to see some pics of his tank. I'm sure his is well grown in.

    He drops in a post from time to time, but I haven't seen anything from his 300DD build forever.
    Just dug it up. November 2012 was the last time he posted to his build thread.

    Here's some pics of my 75 gal tank. Tank has been up 10 years now. Started adding corals 5-6 years ago. Most of the pictures of compliments of Chris's girlfriend (Fence13) who took the pics a month ago on the tank tour. The entire group of pics can be seen at the lik: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjN8He7b

    My tank is getting there. Not much room to place anything anymore. I should probably try to snap some pictures off of a real camera instead of my phone. A top down picture does a better job of illustrating how grown in things are.

    We'll Eric if you want to make some room in there snip off a few frags of your SPS and I'd be sure to take them off your hands. LOL

    Nice tanks everyone.
    Eric, I remember seeing your tank on the tour a couple years ago. I would say things are growing very well for you. Are you still doing the full zeo routine?

    Bill I remember when I saw that tank I about shhhhhh my self . Then I went to Pot Roast and I again about /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/shocked.gif I have also seen Becker,s very nice and very nice person to work with. I agree with Xroads not to many do that. But I know of a few tanks that would kick some butts that are members.

    /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/laugh.gif thanks Harley I really miss that tank. I can't wait to start my new one. Pot Roasts tank is truly awesome. I haven't been over there for a while I'll have to hit him up soon and go see it for some inspiration.
