    I was wondering if that one was a Garf. I have been looking for one for a long time. It would be a crazy odds if I got one for free.

    I didn't really like the Stag until I moved it down. It fits in much nicer where it is.

    Thanks for looking, Cheryl!


    Thank you, John. 8)

    Forgot a picture, not a stick, though. My new acan was retracted part way and looked really strange. You can also see all of the new heads that have grown already. I'm not even 100% sure it's an acan, but it was sold as one.

    Definitely odd shape and growth. Great colors though.

    No idea what that LPS is or what it's doing.

    However, your last SPS photo is Bird of Paradise (birdsnest).

    OK, decided to take some underwater videos, although the first is from the outside. They didn't really turn out how I expected, but whatever. First, I have to remember which way is up relative to the camera.::) Second, the blue LED's really freak the camera out. Third, the inside of the tank is really noisy. You can hear one of the crappy Evo's on the wavemaker. The other loud one was replaced by a Sicce a couple of days ago.

    Here's the first, the others are uploading.

    I need to work on my underwater camera skills. I wanted to keep the powerheads on for the flow, but I couldn't see the camera screen very well. Glarg.

    Very very cool Jerry. I almost felt like I was scuba diving, I really enjoyed it.

    Name of the very pretty red/pink zoanthids vs palys please.

    No noticeable algae at all, guess you fixed that, looks beautiful.

    Thanks, Cheryl! Are you referring to the orange zoos in the center? Not sure, but I think those are Bam Bam's.

    There is still a good amount of bubble algae in the lower light areas, for some reason. In the bright center of the tank, nearly all algae is gone. It's slowly dying every day.

    Here's the third video. Starts off upside-down. :p

    Yeah the ones higher up. Hmmm guess I will have to do my home work on the ID, my bams bams never looked like that, might be the lighting.

    You sure have some beautiful stuff, a lot of diversity, dendros to chalice and everything in between.
