Your rock is coloring up nicely. Tank looks great.

The little yellow goby looks embarrased with his/her red checks. Really neat color on your
rock. Love the pictures.

Thanks...I'm really enjoying having this little tank in my office when I work all day. I have a new sump to put into this tank to replace my little 5 gallon DIY job. I got one made of Acrylic at IPP in Kelowna...about 8G, a lot taller and with a built in PH probe holder. It will allow me to put the new Bubble Magus skimmer in which should make a water quality difference for me right away. I hate the Prizm that is on there now.

Awesome! What did the sump end up costing you if you don't mind my asking?

Well I thought I should update this thread with a few new pics. I'm really enjoying having the tank in my office as it's a great distraction when my work day has me pulling out my hair and cursing at the phone.

Note that I'm trying to improve, but my picture skills suck terribly.

Here's a FTS...

A few pics of some of my palys...

One of my inhabitants...so far I haven't caught him nipping the sps

And lastly, my continuing battle with this algae that no-one can identify.

Lookin good!!! The rock is really looking great now! I would try adding various different inverts (shrimp, hermits, snails) to see if you can find one that will munch on that algae. Prob won't find one, but it's a shot in the dark anyway.

Hey Mark, try Peyssonnelia for that algae. There is at least one species that looks like your algae.
