Snapped a few shots of the tank tonight. No sense in talking about the tank as it looks like crud and I have nothing nice to say about it, hence the macros and FTS from a distance

FTS (welcome back Purple Regal Tang!)



Various corals and junk:























And finally, my cool new toy. Its called "The Portal". Does a fantastic job of magnifying all of my corals so I can see what they're doing. I find it absolutely fascinating to watch everything up close

Thanks Kien, I tried to stick to the pretty crud versus all the reddish slimy crud and that other crud we call detritus but is really just fish poop

Oh I forgot to post a pic of my little garden. I'm cultivating caulerpa for fun, ya know cuz I'm so bored with reefing I felt the need to branch out...

With corals that nice you've got no case. A tank is as nice as the corals in it so I'm afraid your tank is pretty damn nice

I've been cultivating a caulerpa patch and didn't even know it until it started spreading out into the sandbed. I traced it back to the rock and pulled a thick 2" clump out from underneath a mushroom.......on the brightside it is a particularily attractive form of caulerpa

And does the portal allow you to see an augmented reality on the other side ? I could use one of those!
