Ok at this point I DEFINITELY need more rock. My zoo fetish is getting a bit out of hand. Just as I was thinking, gee the tank looks pretty good I get the OA newsletter and the next thing the phone is in my hand
 I'm thinking about just stuffing the tank with rock at this point  Ok so more pics just so you can see, plus I got some KICK A$$ zoos from Scavenger. Tank pic:  New zoos   And a ricordea I missed in the big tank (thank god the crabs missed it too :rolleyes)

Hehe, I'll give them time to grow yet
Oh and I forgot to mention. That orange ric I added to the tank. His greeting to the tank was to roll over onto my green blasto and melt one of the polyps. You can see the damage in the bottom left hand corner. Some of those rics have a crazy powerful sting to them

Well I suppose since I pimped my own thread over in the lounge I should provide an update with gratuitious bragging and such
 new zoos from Patwa:

Its been awhile since I've posted a pic so here it is
  Since I last posted I've battled flatworms, had an ongoing war with caulerpa lost about half of these to various issues (predation, lighting and some unknowns). I must say, keeping a smaller tank is just as challenging as a larger tank. I can grow algae even better in this one! One thing about the fixture I chose (coralife 2x18W CF) is that its great for the first few months or so but the bulbs drop off pretty quickly (and the 2 bulbs cost as much as the fixture did!  ) I did try a 150W coralife hang on MH unit in January but soon discovered that its just too much for the tank. I ordered a 20K bulb from ebay which helped stem the tide but 150 watts is still a lot for a 5 gallon tank Currently I'm back to the coralife compact fluorescent unit and purchased two new bulbs (only available in 50/50). Due to power issues in my new place I've decided not to set up the 150W again (the nano and the big tank are on the same circuit and I'm not sure if it can handle it. Anyway, most of the predators are out of there for now. Theres still a clicking coming from the tank and I never did find the culprit during the move so he's in there for now or until he kills something.
