Chaloupa's 5.5g Primary Colors tank build

[Chaloupa]

Budget updated, Blue and Yellow Damsel added, plus 2 Zoa frags and a Blue Porcelain crab.

Once I have the corals back in place I'll take another pic. Might swap out the MJ1200 for a smaller one as I have too much flow! We'll see....anyone in CR have a used MJ 600???

Id love to see pictures. Especially of the yellow polyps.

I have a MJ 400 in my 2.5 Gallon Pico and it's not enough flow

If you ever do actually send some along would you throw one in for me toooooooo?????? I'm a mushroom nut, love them all and want every kind I can get.

Here's my Blue Porcelain Crab


And my Blue and Yellow Damsel. I think I may add a second one...and then decide what to put in the sump!

Budget update with new Zoa frags added....new yellow polyps added...more shrooms added.

On a side note....it's amazing when you tell an LFS what you're doing...some of the deals you get are outstanding! My "red" mushroom was actually free-but you have to add it to the budget which I'm ok with, some frags have been cheap cheap cheap.

I had hoped to have the things from Wicked Frags in the tank for the picture tomorrow...but..they won't be here til Tuesday and they may not all do in the tank...as I'm really close to budget and I have a couple more things to add from a friend!

[Chaloupa]

Here are the Zoa frags in order of being added to keep it straight....and so no one wonders!
