thanks for the compliments.

I had my doubts at the start about keeping sps. you defiantly need patience, which is one thing i have learned from reef keeping. initially you just try and try to pack as much stuff into yor tank at the begining before everything settles out which causes a lot of problems.

the idea of letting your tank mature before adding certain is becoming more and more prominent in my reef keeping values/ideals.

Since i only have a pair of perc. clownfish and a firefish I've been throwing around the idea of adding some sort of goby. maybe 2-3 clown gobys perhaps a orange spot or something. i was fairly docile fish because eventually i would like to get back into the seahorse game with this tank but am unsure about how the corals would cope with the reduced flow. any opinions?

Josh- anytime your down hit me up. still a little bit of a loner out here. haha

i cheated a bit in the move and kept all of the water that was in the tank so that everything would be kind of "at home" so to speak when they were placed back in the tank.

That monti is really taking off now, i can pretty much watch it sprout polyps. although i wish more of the pink/salmon one i got from you a while back made the trip. oh well, it will grow back

so did you completely remove the biocube hood for the sunpod or did you somehow fit it in? i have 2 50/50 bulbs in mine was there a huge difference when you swapped over?
