Thanks Titus.

I am happy to read This thread is helping someone else! Thanks.
I Love this tank. I think what has helped ommensley is I am not in a hurry. I don't even have a fish in quarantine yet. and I only bought what I liked for corals not because they were rare morphs.

The rockwork took me days! lol I like it but would have liked more sandbed exposed for corals.

I picked up a Pom Pom crab that has his anemone's! They are hard to get here I find. they are always missing their "Pom Pom's"

I finally have a fish in the QT I picked up 2 Barnacle blennies. Love them!

Struggling with quality pics still. I Borrowed a Canon powershot SX20 IS
Hoping Santa brings me a T3I for xmas.



I see you!


Had to take pics of this guy with his feeder tentacles out. I didn't realize how long they are, I can see some of them from across the room. It is a darker green than the pic shows of course.

Picked up a few more corals.








This Frogspawn is Green tipped but the rest of its color is about what you see. I think my Hammer on the left was starting to bleach from the lights. I backed them down to 48%

The Hammer in the back is a green tipped in the store it was really Pink almost red. under my LEDs it is washed out purple/pink. I am not loving the radion so far.

Before I cleaned the tank I took this crappy iphone video. funny how it shows the colors of the corals much better than my camera.

I added a red banded Yasha goby and red banded pistol today, within a few minutes he had the underside of the rock all dug out. I'm not happy with how shy the yasha is but, something else to look for while staring at my tank
I also had a Tail Spot Blenny in QT but sadly he didn't make it. I'm not sure it is a fish that can be Qt'd with a lot of success.

Will have a better update later this week.

I got my refugium running! I will add the sand and rubble slowly over the next couple of weeks. I need to find a better light, that is just a regular lightbulb.
I've been trying to find something I can hang over the tank that will look better than the clamp light.

The DT is a little cloudy from messing with it so much. The measuring cup is holding my Sun coral frag I have been trying to train to come out.

Got a new Camera for Xmas! was playing with it and the Macro lens that I got too.




this guy is recovering quite well. I thought it was going to die a long with all but 2 gorgs I bought. Anyone know what it is?










reminds me of cousin It (it was as purple as the skeleton ontop. I'm hoping it will come back but if not It is still a nice piece)

I picked up a Red and a Yellow Gorg today. Thought I'd post a FTS as well. things are coming along very nicely.
I had Red slime but treated the tank for it and it hasn't come back but I now have brown diatoms. It'a a little annoying.

I have a Flame Hawk Fish in QT I like him a lot but I'm a little concerned he might eat my inverts so I haven't added him to the DT yet.




I think it is almost time to prune that cheato too!
