    I'm not sure what to expect at this point but I wanted to start taking pictures of everything in the tank. The marine cement is hideous and if you see it I apologize! I'm hoping it will darken in color over time. I've only now just begun adding corals. Small frags mostly. My Pom Poms don't seem to be doing as well as they were but they are inching across my rock. I imagine they are trying to find a new home. They've completely moved from their frag rock and onto my LR. Kenya is doing the best. Gorg is much better looking than in pics. I think my flash washes out polyps and brightens the purple stuff they grow on. What else, I love my newest addition, Atlantic Blue. Yes as he grows I will move him into a bigger tank! ;) Can someone ID the green polyps for me? I wish it looked more full, the tank that is. Ok well I'm sure that's a long enough narrative! I'm like to write what can I say! Hope you all enjoy and eager to hear comments, suggestions, helpful criticism. More pics on second post.
    Cheers,
    Nick

    I tried to put good labels on all the pics. That's a pink spotted goby. Also yes those polyps i'm not sure what you call them besides simply "polyps". I can't get them to grow more I've had them for about two months. Also in the first picture, if you zoom in all the way (two clicks) you will see a tiny polyp of a different type in the lower right corner. Can anyone ID this? It was a hitchhiker.

    I don't want this thread buried, so I bumped it myself lol. I've never really posted pics of my tank before because it looks no where near as nice as others. I still need to update my lights and what not. But am eager to show it off, I'm proud.

    As you should be. Some other tanks that you refer to have LOTS of TIME and $$$ into them. Looks good to me...and if you're happy with it, that's all that matters.
