Picked up a bunch more sps last week from a friend (thanks Argentiner...you are too generous!). They seem to be doing well. My favorite a frag of blue Milli (ofcourse I can't get a good picture of it to show you cuz it shows up brown and blurry...)and my green slimer. I don't know the names of any of the sps but they look purty!! Gonna have to start to learn em I guess. A couple months ago I was given a colony of sps that was pretty browned out and to my surprise it is coming back a really bright purple! (Thanks Al!) Love it!!!(Anyone have a name for it?)








So I have tried to accept the microbubble issue with the tank but it's driving me crazy!! I am seriously thinking about buying a new return pump and changing the plumbing somehow to try to deal with the problem. I think the PS4 is my problem??? So what should I replace it with if I do go ahead??? (I don't have $1000 to spend!! I need something cost effective and quiet, external...hmmm) Also I have minimal room from the bulkhead to the pump in the curved stand so I have a 90 degree off the sump(not ideal, I know)but not sure there is anything I can do about it...Is it worth replacing the PS4 if I can't eliminate the 90? Pic shows the 90 off the sump. Pump is just right off that 90 and then the return comes straight up from the pump. My returns have those 90 bends too because we tried to work with the plumbing that came with the tank.


I just love this fish! He has great character...swimming in the tunze current, out to greet me first thing every morning, swims right into my hand and I just love his cute little face! I just can't help but snap pics of him everytime I am taking tank pictures!
