Well after a mini flood last night I figure it's time for an update. I was trying to disconnect the union above my pump last night and accidentally twisted the entire pipe, which spun the bulkhead of my return line, loosening the nut and creating a massive leak. Fortunately I was able to pump out the overflow quickly with a maxijet and some vinyl tubbing and prevent a major flood, most of the water followed the pipe and went into the sump anyway.

The tank is progressing nicely, but slowly. I'm leaving for a four week vacation next month so I didn't want to go crazy stocking the tank yet. I figure the more simple it is, the better the chance that my tank sitter will be able to handle things.

Current inhabitants include 2 ocellaris clowns, 4 green chromis, a skunk cleaner shrimp, an elusive peppermint shrimp, unknown # of hermit crabs, snails, and hitchhiker crabs. I'd like to add another fish soon, but want to make sure the tank is good and stable before I leave, so not sure if I'll follow through with that. I've been adding corals over the holidays and everything is looking is pretty good except an acropora frag I put in last week.... Enough talk, onto the pictures:

New brain coral in today:


Hammer coral. It's in the process of developing some new heads


Green star polyps:


Zoanthids:


Duncan coral:


This acropora frag has been in the tank for about a week, but the green patch on the coral just appeared today. I'm a bit worried about this guy, is this RTN?


And an FTS to finish it all off:


Thanks for looking.
