Very nice tank Tracy, would love to come see it in person sometime when you have a chance. It was great seeing pics of the mother corals of the frags from our trading at the MASLAC frag swap. Your tank is a great inspiration.

Paul and I drove out to see Tracy's tank about a month ago. We talked about the tank all the way home. Tracy's a hec of a nice guy and his tank is the best I have ever seen.
Way to go Tracy...... Mark

Geezzz....
That's simply, undeniably....beautiful. I dream of my sps sporting colors like those. Maybe Iwasakis aren't all they're cracked up to be??? Maybe the grass is just greener (or the star polyps) on the other side....

I love the top down view of your tank. Wish I'd thought of it when I built my system. Congratulations on an excellent design

Tracy,
I enjoyed looking at your tank. Bought a couple of your frags from Steve Tyree, the Bali slimmer and the spongodes. Great frags very healthy. Jason |

Great Tank!
 Great Tank. I live in Seattle and just finished my 325 in my corporate office. I cant wait until it looks like yours. Alot of patience though. Would you be interested in trading frags? I have many very nice sps and lps corals. Kind of went crazy on buying bigger sps peices to make the tank look established. It worked somewhat but still have alot of space to fill yet. Again, very nice to see someone that love this stuff as much as i do. Let me congratulate you on a fine job. Your efforts have paid off. Until next time ERic
