    It probably won't, But i am hopping it will find a rock it likes to sleep in like a 6 line I used to have.

    Or I suppose I could put a small tray of sand in there

    better late then never.

    new tank and new lighting.

    tank is a 40 gallon long.

    lighting is a oddysea, 4 bulb fixture. I got it mainly do to the price, and to see how the new version stacks up. It was about what I expected(a low quality fixture that is still usable for shorter tanks) already replaced the bulbs still deciding if I should replace the ballasts or not. [​IMG]

    the frogskin has finally colored up to a nice green(poorly photographs though) after 4 months or so. I was about to give it to my dad since if it took another month.

    As you can see I finally properly drilled the aquamags so I could mount corals.

    The new tank looks really good. All the corals look great. The sps appear to be liking the lighting and placement.
