as far as equipment goes i have done very little. i added a third tunze 6100 on a wavysea. i am such a huge supporter of this setup, it is amazing the flow and random currents you get. handful of new corals added, all sps lately. trying to wean the lps out of the tank but the wife likes them because they 'move'. few new fish, i added a juve oranged shoulder and juve convict tang. they survived the initiation from the powder blue (the tank bastard). there has been some really good growth lately. thats about it, here some pics of whats happening

Hey Colin, tank looks great!

Have you run into any problems with putting your tank on laminate flooring?

Hey Colin, Thanks for the quick reply! As for laminate floors + aquariums... I've heard mixed reviews, some say that it warps because the tank weight stops the floor from expanding/contracting with heat etc... I was in HR the other day and Marc was telling me that yours in on laminate so he suggested I talk to you. From what I can tell, it's only cheapy laminate flooring that doesn't hold up well with the weight of a tank. You've jsut sealed the deal for me! I'll be moving my tank on to the laminate floors at my new place next month.

How do you like your little orange shoulder? How big is it? Has it started changing yet?

the juve orange shoulder is awesome. the only thing that has changed is he has a brown band where eventually the orange shoulder is. his best friend is the convict tang. they sleep together at night. i think the biggest reason they hang out is to try and avoid the stupid powder blue. i wish i could catch em. he gives a daily beating to both the orange should and convict
