Mostly becasue at this point i dont know where i want them... also i think i have sufficent lighting to keep sps at the bottom of my tank and when i get around to try i dont want the zoas taking over....

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Nice clams, been thinking about adding a clam to my tank too. I had one a long time ago but my CBB liked the taste of it

Well its been a while since my last post and i actually have something to add....

while nothing has changed in the way my tank looks, my clown fish for the first time since i got them (they were the first sw fish i bought) have started to lay eggs... they have gone thru 2 clutches in the last 5 weeks... they lay eggs, they hatch, get eaten, they lay more eggs..
