Stupid cat's are now using the stand as a scratching post... At least there not peeing on it.

I may have to steal this idea for mine as well. Skimmer is pretty noisy too. As for the cats, just give them time. They just don't like it enough yet.

A couple of additional pieces tapped to the inside really helped to silence it overall, couldn't be happier with the look and its easy and cheap to do.

Couple new actinic photos:

I picked up a new colony that I have never seen before today, I thought it was magicians but I'm almost positive it's a zoa because of the size. Magician palys are like 4 times the size of these little guys, there the red ones located in the top of the photo.

New colony opened up pretty quick, here are some day light shots. They look exactly like magicians just 1/4th the size.

Don't think those are Magicians. Look definetly like a Zoa , a very nice one at that. Also don't reca;; anything likre that on Zoa Id.

Thanks Mike.

I have a serious problem when it comes to moving everything around, I think I like this new scape so I have a New Years resolution to not move it. I have decided to remove most of my remaining LPS and go back to the twigs (My Red Planet just looks so loonnlleeyyyyy

).

FTS:

Anyone any an ID on this nem, the store didn't know for sure.

Some randoms:
