Thanks Leah, the Anthias are my favorite fish in there right now. The males are flaring at each other and all the females right now so its making for a very active tank. I've been trying to get pictures but they are so food oriented that they run right to the front corner expecting to be fed everytime they see me.

Woo another little update. This Maxi-Jet with Sureflow kit is really starting to make me mad. The suction cups just arent wanting to stick to the glass and it seems some days the pump really chatters. I am looking forward to the day I can afford a 3X MP10W ES upgrade or a 3x Tunze 6055 upgrade.

I did a water change yesterday and did some tests while I was at it. It appears the corals have been growing because my ALk was down to 8dkH and the calcium was 195.... oops. Usually I like to run it about 10-12 dkh and the calcium about 425. So I added a bunch of baked baking soda and Calcium Chloride to the water change, I will make the rest up over the next couple days.


I also moved some stuff around. The Hot Pink Mille is starting to grow and is aiming right for my Cali Tort so the tort got banished to the back where it can have lots of room.
The Purple with White Polyp acro got moved as well to a more central location in the tank. I am going to see how it colors up here in the middle then maybe secure it permanently.
I woke up one morning to find the Red Planet on the sand so I moved it as well. It didnt go far just around the rock a little more so it wouldnt interfere with my purple/blue tabling acro.
The Super Grape Mille got moved as well closer to the light. It should have plenty of room to spread out now! This is such a nice piece when its full size.

I also moved a little rock around on the right side and had 1 piece left over so I started to make the last little arm to complete the cove. So far I like it but I am thinking of going a little farther up. Its mostly zoanthids and Palys right now which is okay with me.
