I'm not thrilled with my latest photos...but this should give you a good idea of how the tank is doing these days.

Some of the sponges are still doing well (yellow ball sponges)...others didn't make it (large orange/red branching sponges)...and others have appeared from the live rock. In general, it is important to place them somewhere where they don't get any light.

If you are able to leave your rockwork and flow alone for an extended period of time, sponges tend to find the places where conditions are good for them.

I have a yellow sponge that just appeared one day and has takin over my tank. I dont mind it cause it stays hidden in behind the rocks and it actually glues them together...lol

As far as leaving the rockwork alone...I dont think I have two pictures where the rockwork is the same...lol
