Well, I never did do a proper journal but thought I'd just add some updated pics of my tank now 7 months old. I have officially been in the saltwater hobby now for a year! WHOOHOO! Started my adventure with a 27G Bowfront ghetto set-up:biggrin:. (See the pic)
So here's a few pics of then and now fo anyone interested! ENJOY!

:shocked!: Holy crap Carmen...That is one beautiful LPS/softie setup.... you have a great eye for aquascaping and coral placement....would be curious to see what kind of sps tank you would biuld.:razz:

Wow...Beautiful is an understatement one of the nicest tanks I have seen. I agree your aquascaping is incredible. I love your softies!

That toadstool is gianormous!!! Glad to see my cleaner wrasse is happy and has fish to clean. Tank looks awesome as it always does.

Looks great Carmen

Thanks Doug! I know you have a huge love of the SPS but it's the LPS that does it for me(and softies)! Kinda like the "movement" really!

What a compliment! Thanks Leah!

Yup Diana that Cleaner wrasse has fit in EXCEPTIONALLY well! Huge eater and has a love for my Foxface and goby!
Neat fish and eats like a pig!

THANK YOU ALL!

Oh and I wanted to mention re the toadstool...the toadstool in the top left corner of the 27G nano is the same toadstool (July08)!!!!! Neat hey!

Looks amazing:) Great Job
How is your copperband doing?
Can ya give us some info on him?
How long you've had him, what he eats, blah blah
Thanks:)

My Copperband was from a fellow canreefer who had him for about 3-4 months before me. I got him in Nov 08 so have had him 6 months. He is superb! Eats mysis and brine(Mainly mysis). Huge pig and very agressive eater!! Hopefully I will be one of the lucky ones as he is one of my favorite fishes.

I think your CBB will be just fine. I have had mine for five months now, and he is just like yours... an aggressive eater and piglet to boot. Have you seen the cleaner wrasse nibble on nori yet? He started eating it a week before I had to remove him from my tank.The little guy eats anything he can fit his little mouth around. I am very happy he is in your capable hands now:biggrin:

How much bigger do toadstools get... looking like you will need a bigger tank just for that soon. I can't believe how big it has gotten since I first met you in December. I was so impressed with you tank back then, and now... WOW!!!
