    Thanks :) I'll definitely be adding some low light LPS and Macro algae. Any suggestions?

    Here's the Ricordea that I got. The Zoas are starting to open up as well.

    Why did you contemplate quitting the hobby? Did you lose everything in your 29gal? What would you have done, now in hindsight to prepare for such a catastrophe? New digs look sweet, best of luck.

    Thanks :)

    I did lose everything, including a Chalice worth ~$400, so that really discouraged me, considering it was the second time I lost everything (The first time was a chain reaction with dying snails), but I made some money back by selling a few things. I figured I would give it another go. The reason I lost everything the second time was because of a random Sea Urchin death while I was on vacation, so I couldn't really control it. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask ;) And thanks!

    yes, they showed up that time, weird. Beautiful color Cam! I love rics too! I think the coolest thing about smaller tanks is that it can really show off some of the smaller corals really nicely. I'm interested to know, what are some low light LPS?

    I think a shrimp would look neat in the tank. They are busy little things kind of fun to watch :) Saw some anemone crabs yesterday at the LFS, they are pretty cool looking. Not sure what one needs to keep them if you don't have an anemone. You may be able to add some sexy shrimp in there too and since they're so tiny, they'd really show up in your size tank.

    Thanks! And that's very true. The things we don't normally notice seem to be the main pieces in the tank. As far as Low Light LPS go, Acans and Chalices seem to be a good fit. I may even try a Dendro later on :)

    I like the Shrimp idea. Maybe a Cleaner or Fire Shrimp. I don't really trust crabs, from all of my bad experiences :p
