But on a serious note, ya, I like the movement, and wow does it grow stinkin fast.. Dont quote me, but bloy picked up a frag of green polyp toadstool from Levi I believe, it wasnt all that big and wasnt even a complete circle, more like a blob on some old acro skelaton.. with in 3 weeks, its not only finished its top toadstool, has a thick stalk and is about a 1/2" off the skelaton.

But yes, im very happy with the tank and thanks for the compliments

Sooo.. the last couple weeks have just been a watch and let grow thing.. and then it happened.. I went out with Lorenz0 to do a drop in of a few stores and see whats kickin around town... and there is new stuff in my tank.. HOW DOES IT HAPPEN??

haha.. ok, so pics:



I love my Ricos, and I dont see alot of Blue//Purple Ricos around.. so I had too..



Some of you may be familiar with this little man.. often called the superman Rhodactis... so nice.. have 3 heads in different places around the tank.. hoping to find a bowl shaped peice of live rock to put them in so they kinda stay together



Cup coral.. ive been looking for a peice of this for a long time.. and with my flower pot starting to suffer.. Took a gamble to see if my tank could sustain it as ive had great sucess with my carnations but not so much with flowerpot, I have a killer place to put it and hopefully have it spread like crazy!



Lastly, a new clam from red coral from the $40 section.. as I had a really bad clam experiance in which my tank is now recovered from and wanted smaller and hopefully a happier clam.. its lived past 24hours so fingers crossed it stay happy and mantle out as it is now.

Future plans:

Have a sump under stand now, have the eshopps hob overflow, and a Rio return pump for about 700gph at 4ft height.. want to setup a electrical cabinet to hide electrical since sump, water change tank and ATO will take up that space under stand.

Parts still needed: Plumping parts (going to run flex intake, hardline exhaust), new skimmer(currently HOB), cabinet for electrical (Ikea should have somthing), ATO unit with pump... thats all I believe..

Stuff ill have to part with, both Aquaclear 110's, PSK100H Skimmer by eshopps which sadly I love and its been soo good on the tank.

But the plan is in motion.. ill have pics when up and done

So, the updates can resumes.. its now april.. Sump is almost ready to launch.. have all baffle measurements, pickup glass on monday at lunch, and hopefully hopefully have it setup this weekend..

But here is the updates -- New Additions: Pink sun coral, Figi Foxface, various Zoas and a reconstructed zoa island as the old one bugged me. Here are the photos, still ziploc shrimp feeding the suns, as I know barely any LFS feeds sun corals often enough.. its took my 6 months to get my oldest one to come out every night.. its seems like the bigger head of suns like I have, take so much longer.

Here is my NPC collections.. Orange grouping sun colony, Black branching sun colony, Giant grouping clear sun colony, Giant grouping Pink Sun colony, Orange and purple gorgonia, white and purple carnations.




New zoa island setup



Foxface:
