A couple of people have asked if I would post a FTS and I got around to taking an updated one tonight

Random corals

A table that was totally brown a month ago

I love this teal acro that is in the background - it has the richest color but does tend to collect some algea

I just about tossed this monti but glad I didn't as it has started to come back and it is a really cool coral - bright green with purple polyps

Ruth! Why did I always think you have a FOWLR?

That tank rules - "If the tank is a rockin', don't come a-knockin!"

Wow Ruth! Awesome!

Looks great Ruth. Is that a hot pink pocillipora in the first picture middle RH side?
That monti in the last picture will grow pretty quick if it's what I think it is; M verrucosa.
Mine like that are spreading quite fast.
Did any of those frags you got from me last Sept make it?

Hey thanks guys. The tank is a 110g cube that I bought last year from Snoop Dog. It has been doing so well and i am very pleased with the color and growth I get from this tank.
I did run the zeovit system on this tank for about 2 months and I attribute that to getting this tank really kick started and low nutrient. I did have some problems with PO4 and nitrate when I first set it up that attribute to using old rock that was leaching it out. Once this was dealth with it has been good.
Yeah that monti that I thought was a goner is growing really fast and that is the name I bought it under.
Greg - yes those frags that I got from you are for the most part still in there and have been growing great. Some of them are in the far back corner so are hard to see although some are right up front in the frag forest. And yes that is a pink pocci that has the most amazing color although I am having a bit of an issue trying to find the exact right place in the tank for it. I have some parts on the undersides that are fading and bleaching. I would love to get more pink in this tank so if anyone has anything pink or rose that they would like to sell please let me know.
Andsoitgoes I also have a FOWLR (and anemones) (190g) and a Fish and Softie tank (230g) as well as a 12g nano, a 10g nano and a 20g nano at work. The 10 and 12 are going to come down though as I just struggle with algea too much in small tanks. Just have to find new homes for the fish currently in them.

Wow Ruth, your tank looks fantastic.

Tank is looking great Ruth.
A super Yellow Stag or Bright Green Bali Slimer would be an awesome color addition as well.

So glad you didn't give up on this, your tanks are kicking so much rump, now where are the pics of the OTHER tanks??
