And while I am at it. A few pics of the fish. This is all the fish there will be. Yellow Tang and a pair of clowns. Eventually the tang will go in my fish only I think. We'll see how fast he outgrows this tank.





This is my favorite view of the tank so far. From the left side. Everything is just very small frags at this point but growth has been really, really good actually. Most of these have doubled in size the last month.

The picture looses most of the depth of the tank but there are three small islands and one large one. Tons and tons of open space and even the back of the tank behind the rocks has corals to try to give the tank a more realistic feel. The tank would be viewable from all sides if it were not for the wall



This is the entire clean up crew, who even ate the clean up crew. Actually he left the Tiger tail Cucumber alone but he is the most amazing scavenger I have ever had. He does try to eat the clowns though, hopefully he will continue to fail.

He is about 6" across from leg to leg.

Anyone have any advice for taking good pics of corals? The fish pics turn out fine but the corals loose most of their color whenever I take pics of them. I have no idea how to fix this but it really annoys me!

Yeah its a purple photosynthetic gorgonian. I will get some pics of it tomorrow. Its been getting more and more purple as the months go on. I have been super happy with that one. It grows very fast too for a gorgonian.

Hopefully I will get the plumbing going tomorrow and then decide on a skimmer. I have not decided yet because I need to see how much room I have.

It will be nice to get the refugium going on this tank though right away. There have been no nutrient or algae problems even without it but it can't hurt.
