    Well the tank has come a long way so far.
    Lighting- Mu 135 series
    other Goodies- two korallias, aquaclear 70, 9 watt UV sterilize. Crazy flow.
    Fish- 3 chromis, 1 yellow eyed kole tang (only 2 inches n will be moved once he/ she grows a bit) holding a small clown and cherub angel for someone.
    inverts- serpent star, skunk cleaner shrimp, and a handful of hermits.

    Can't wait to get some pictures of this bad boy up.

    Update:
    Man....I haven't been on here in a good while. Anyways.....the tank has multiple corals in it, mostly from my ten gallon. My ten gallon got combined into it the 30 gallon. All fish seem to be happy and healthy. I only lost one fish, the lawnmower, due to carpet surfing.
    The corals are not the best right now after my vacation, I came back to a 1/4 of the tank water on the floor and some corals were out of water. They are starting to come back, but it will take a good amount of time. However, my buddy gave me a few little frags to get back on the right track.

    Sorry no pictures right now, don't have a camera.

    Well, it sounds like everything is on the right track. I'm sure everything will rebound.

    Thank you. It's already on it's way back. It looks pretty good considering what it looked like, I will see if I can get my Gf's camera. I am dying to get pictures up to show you guys. ;D

    I have a question about my leather coral, it has a shed it's skin and looked great for a about a week. Now it comes out all the way and looks very pretty, but it has a few lighter spots where not all the polyps seem to be out. Is this a problem? It seems like it's shedding again, but just in these tiny spots. Does this happen?

    I can't wait to show the world this coral, one of my favorites now. It's like a kenya tree color trunk with bright nuclear green polyps.

    Thanks for the help guys and gals.

    O I am picking up a long-nose hawkfish and maybe a small frogspawn or something that catches the eye.
