Don't you be giving Tony credit now Doug!

I'm glad you're going to skip the ponies...maybe it can be some other type of species specific tank though?

You sure have alot of those little nuclear green tipped algae things eh? I had just a single one in my first tank but it sure was bright.

Hmmm, perhaps a trigger tank? Just pop a few small fish in and you will feel the need to "upgrade" in no time. If you need some GSP to go with that Kenya tree just let me know- I have enough to cover that tank top to bottom in wonderful, lush, green carpeting...

I think Im gonna pass one the GSP, Danny.......but thanks for the offer (I think)....





so, as some of you may or may not know, I have an acan eating sexy shrimp *wonders if they taste like popcorn shrimp*.....not sure what to do about it......it only damaged two frags and has since left the other acans (and blastos) alone.....Ive made the effort to feed the tank a little heavier in hopes of curbing the little buggers appetite.....

I bumped up the lighting a little as well.....I traded Mikey some frags for my "glo" fixture back.... so now there are 4- 24w bulbs over the tank.....bulbs are 2 aquascience duos, KZ "new gen" and a Giessemann Actinic+........made a little difference to the color.....I think I like it

All pruned...looks great and I like the light color. Looks like a nice little spot for all those frags! Surely they will grow well for you in there! As for the sexies...take them back! Would hate to see those awesome acans and blastos destroyed! You have some beautiful pieces in there! Or......better yet...keep the sexies and donate those beautiful acans and blastos to a special friend!
Thanks again for the macro!

I added a couple things to the anti-pony tank.......a tri-color fairy wrasse and a "yasha hase" goby.......both of the newbies have been rather shy and I havnt been able to get any decent pics, so I will fill the void with some coral shots
