Thanks guys. Camera is a Canon 30D with a Sigma 70mm macro lens.

I'm going out of town for 5 days so hopefully all will be well. I have the ATO and a very experienced tank sitter coming by once a day to feed and check things so it should be good.

October Update Time. Not a ton of changes. Added three new friends for the sharknose goby:

Here's another one hanging out with the ricordea:

Also put my flamethrower mushroom in here:

Looks awesome, I love the way the 'screen' glows sort of like what the CRT would have thrown off.

Life is pretty hectic right now. Things seem pretty stable with water changes every week to 10 days. Added a few more frags. Mostly zoas from my 75 gallon. Zoas seem to be dong poorly there for some reason and are much happier in the iReef. Here's a quick Nov. FTS. I'll try to post some more pics tomorrow.

That wall looks amazing all grown in like it is now. Can't wait to see those tiny frags fill in and make that wall LIVE.

I felt a little let down when I looked at the other pics of your goby and realized these guys don't have neon green in their faces. Darn reflection of the trumpet coral! How's he liking his new buddies?

Yes, I am waiting for them to fill in too. Growth has happened but has been slow with these under driven LEDs. It's a trade off of PAR vs. heat in the tightly enclosed space.

The goby does have some yellow on its face but I think the reflection in that one shot did make it stand out more.

Here's a couple more shots:

A little "skin flap" of palau green nephthea. This will look beautiful under the LEDs once it grows out.

As that grows and expands are the green areas that green? Looks gorgeous already.
