    Update for everyone. Tank sprung a leak, but I got it fixed. Added 20 more pounds of rock for 85 pounds total now. I also painted the back black. I think the blue looks too much like the lfs. Now have 2 clowns, 1 blue damsel, 1 dwarf fuzzy lionfish, 1 gold face goby, 1 snowflake eel, and I just added a blue throat trigger toaday.

    Major Picture Update

    Here are some new pictures for everyone. Tank Has been running around 9 months now. Had a major outbreak of something that killed almost everything :(. I decided I am going mainly reef now. So all I have is Black and White ocelaris, orange and black ocelaris, yellow tang, and a coral beauty that came in another tank that I just bought. Build thread coming soon for that tank. I also Upgraded my lighting to a 4 bulb T-5 setup with 10 moonlights from ebay.

    Too bad about the losses (btw the rock with the green & brown zoas loos to have an aiptasia on it, so need to kill it before it spreads).
    Good luck this go round.

    That's what I thought. I was about to post that in the ID forum. Any ideas on how to kill it?
