Hawks 180G build

My 180 has been running for about a year now. I was planning on a 400G tank but due to life issues I have decided to put the project on hold for now. I didn't like where the 180 was so I moved it. In time I will not like where it is now and will probably move it again...now I am thinking a inwall tank...but first things first. I moved the 180 from here:

Looking forward to more. Does she know about the tank?

And x-mas is not to far away:mrgreen:

The move went pretty good. Thanks again to Mike(therealshark) and Ryan(RyanGSP) for the help. Was up till about 2ish getting the tank filled and everything running again. Lost a couple of chromis :( but other than that...everything went smooth.

I could only mix about 50G of salt at a time.

I added about eight colonies of SPS...raised the stand and went with bare bottom. So far I am liking the BB look...thought I wouldn't but its really growing on me.

I have also been dabbling with zeovit. I don't use a reactor...so far I am dosing:
Coral Snow - 6ml 2/3times a week
Start2 - .6ml twice a day
Food7 - 6 drops 2 times/week
Bak - 6 drops 2 times/week

I have noticed a huge change with my SPS. I have had a few pieces that turned brown but are now starting to show some color.

If anyone is feeling ambitious...I would like to get all the SPS IDed. To me they are just fuzzy sticks. :redface::mrgreen:

Or two or three:wink:

They arent majanos they have a Skeleton like an LPS. I took a look at them in person and couldnt figure it out.

what do they do when you mess around with them? Deflate? retract?

THey seem to defalte. When scott moved them so I could snap the pictures it was quick but they never sucked into the skeleton.

possibly "spawned" off frogspawn/torch or a bubble coral???? do you have anything fitting that description in the tank?

I got it as a frag from RC Lethbridge.

Came downstairs and found this lil bugger cruisin the tank floor.
I bought two awhile ago and haven't seen them since until this morning.
