    Decided to take some pics late last night.
    The LPS look a bit different at night when they are opened for feeding.

    A few times a month I target feed them with thawed brine, spirulina, mysis or whatever frozen Hikari stuff I have. They also will grab onto and pull in wet flakes. Seems that all my fish eat flakes now, so I probably won't be buying any more frozen food for some time.

    Thanks guys,
    I think I'm done with scraping the coralline off the back glass for good now. Everytime I do, it looks clean, but it makes it look like a holding tank in a LFS.:-/

    Oh yeah......let it grow. Looks soooooo much better IMO. My back wall is really starting to purple up nicely. It turns out being really retentive about my params is working!!!!!
