BlueAbyss thanks for the compliment. My Regal tang looks really cool under pure atinics. It's a nice deep blue color which really stands out.

digital-audiophile I also have the same problem with buildup in my overflow. I'm also going with an external overflow next time. Also I want to go with starfire or the other kind of extremely clear glass.

I just setup my new tank and I'm already planning again! Do they have SW tank addiction interventions?!

Well I was at the fish store today and my girlfriend seen some pom poms and a scallop. She had to have them so we got them. I hope they aren't doomed with the tank being so young. I guess only time will tell.

Pom poms are great, I have a couple in my tank but I am lucky if I see them once a year, they just get lost in the rock work.

I would suggest doing a bit of reading on the scallop. I've never tried them myself but if I recall they are not the easiet creatures to keep.

If its a flame scallop (which I'm assuming it is) You'll need to direct feed it. Usually they last for around 3-4 months, then starve to death...

Thought I'd update my thread so here are some pictures.


Finally got a picture of them together.


My pipe organ coral is splitting quite rapidly.


Here is Superman Monti I picked up today.

I also picked up some zoos but they haven't opened completely yet.
