    Hi, it's been awhile, how is everyone? I've been jonesing ever since my mantis died and I let the macros crash in my 2.5gl. So, I had to start up a new macro 'scape. Hope you like -J

    Really well done tank, I like that it's simple and minimalistic. The cherub angel is great looking too.

    Jake, that's a purple photosynthetic gorgonian from the Gulf, I actually added that a little too soon while the tank was still in a heavy algae phase, smothered it and killed it. Once things balance out some more I may try again. The red is a Halymenia species of macro called Dragon's Tongue. Thanks for looking. :)

    GuitarMan, thanks! Love the nuclear alien thingamajig in your avatar, just saw that at my buddy's house today, forget what he called it but they're awesome. I want I want! :eek:

    You mean the coral? It's a sunset montipora, one of my favorites.
