My randalls are not to distructive but my tiger pistol is a total bulldozer and a goby killer! He has murdered every goby I ever bought for him to bond with. After four attempts I finally figured out what he was doing! Poor little gobies I sent to there doom...I feel horrible. So he lives in my ten gallon just burrying everything in sight.

Ill get a pic when i get home but i moved everything off the sand and onto rocks .
Hey gang, what's the over/under on Eric shopping for a new tank?!?! It's looking good man and I'd be shocked if you don't have a "budget" number in your head for a new system. It's my opinion that almost everyone in this hobby has these thoughts...

Nope. I already did that part . I've had a 125 that crashed and burned more times then an AMC gremlin , a 75 that died in a move then again in a power outage . I'm over big tanks 
.
Have been sketching out a small frag tank

Good move. I have one low riccordia in my ten that keeps getting burried from my tiger pistol. Cant wait to see the pic!

Here's some pics post remodel. Everything is glued to smaller rocks on the main structure that can be removed when it's time to make space . 
The right side will be Euphyllia . I have the frogspawns on the lower end and hammers on top . Still looking for one more color option.
Thats the frag from the March meeting from the LPS fragging demo . ( Thanks again )
The left front is all my zoas . All of these have come from members on here . Hoping to let them grow over the entire face .
You can also see the two branches I have my Duncan's on . Hoping they will grow up and let the zoas grow under them .
here's another shot of the Duncan's and a piece of Xenia my wife loves 
On another follow up note the sponge has totally engulfed the candy cane , and the coral looks better then ever . You can really see the valves on the sponge now .
Other then that I added a couple peppermint shrimp that ate every pest anenome in 6 hrs flat . Here's a few random pics of some mushrooms and what not . I'm sure most of you will recognize these from your frag tanks .

This candy cane / sponge combo has become a very interesting piece. This was just after feeding today .

The coral was looking rough , then the sponge took over and now the coral looks better then ever .
@Eric_n_Ga What did you use to attach your GSP to the back of your tank? I'm reading conflicting reports about success with different methods (Namely: super glue gel, epoxy, magnets and propping with a rock). Both types of my GSP have acclimated really well and I'd like to mount them as well as yours seem to be.

Super glue . I put a dab on the plastic and let it cure . Then globbed the gsp and held it for a min or so and no issues .
Great! Thanks for the tip, I'll try that tomorrow and hope the GSP is cooperative.

Dry it with a paper towel . When you press it to the glue on the plastic twist it and smoosh it together
Wait, I thought I was doing this under water on the back of the aquarium? Or did you mean that I should take out the GSP, pop off frag plug, dry the bottom and put the dab of glue directly on the bottom of it?
The original answer made me think I was supposed to dab some glue on the back wall first and then smush on the GSP.

I took mine off the plug , dried it , apply super glue ...out of the water.
Then stick that to the glue you applied to the plastic ...under water .
Twist and press , hold for 30 sec
