Looking great Chris. get some Ricoridas for the sides on the sand and couple Acans or open brain for the front. also I would move the power head on the side or move it a bit up , and add a piece of live rock on the top of the rock your yellow poly is and mount your frogspawn there

Hey I still have the two pieces of rock from you so most likely I shall rescape soon and go higher on the back wall.
Also I cant take up space on the sand as my sand-dollar will hate me and hes doing a fine job of keeping the sand mighty white

In regards to the power-head... I hate that damn thing, its big bulky and casts a large shadow in the tank not to mention I have to clean it of algae on weekly basis.... very annoying.
I have a list of things I want to buy and cant do them all at once unfortunately; its either a MP10, Tunze ato or upgrade my D90 DSLR to the D7000 and sell the D90. I went to J&L on Sunday right before stopping by your place to get something and was very undecided so I didn't get any tank upgrades.

I had to pull the tank apart to get the pistol out of there!
I added an extra bit of rock and well "urchie"
here's a few snaps with the Sony tx10

Well I made it 8 and a half weeks with NO FISHIES!!!!!
I think I earned myself a clownfish don't you?
I also axed that coral tree skeleton (the one covered in cyano) the cyano was gross making the zoas p'od and the aptasia liked it. so I scrapped it.

I moved my tank to our new house with zero issues it now has a prominent place in my kitchen and not in a yucky basement suite.
This is my new friend "Nemo" I wanted to call him Fezzik but my brother in law came over and was like OH LOOK OH OH OH ITS A NEMO HI LITTLE NEMO!!!! OH YOU ARE A CUTE NEMO!!!! FOR THREE FRACKING DAYS. I've never seen a trades person Harley nerd gush like a little girl before.


While the beast was disassembled I took the time to reshape my rockwork and add an extra "cave"
I also pulled the xenia as 5lbs of rock covered in it gets crazy FAST!

So it's been just over a month with the clownfish!!!
I rehomed the coral banded as he was eating my peppermints. He is doing just fine in Steve's eel tank!
I added a hectors goby,cleaner shrimp and a very small occ. As well as a few more frags!

Glad to be finding some success. Is it normal to want to redo my rock work AGAIN! I want more of this kind of look but I think the livestock would be mad at me.

how do you guys stack your rockwork so tall! I don't suppose any of you guys wanna come help LOL.

Also Rustydog gave me this I think it's pretty. I love candycanes.


Steve has a stunning scoly coral that looks like a nuclear cupcake and I want it soooo bad. But I've spent enough cash at his store this week.
moving up in the tank world! Next tank a red sea max S line! (hey a girl can dream right????)

Your tank looks very good, you should be proud of it and in time it will only mature with more grow.
