from trashed to prized (i hope)

well hello all i recently posted a "intro-hello all' post in the Quicky section and i now feel like keeping a running post of everything that has happened to me and my new found hobby. THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE CRAZYEST EXPERIANCES EVER!! I will try to keep everything short and sweet (or not)
this is the intro and has all the basics about my situation. http://www.3reef.com/forums/say-hello/swiming-not-drowning-73599.html
from here on out will be all the new and exciting things that happen
hope you enjoy and give advice and/or reproof if needed. thanks;D

 

well i got rid of the sweet lips and the corral beauty anglefish. i now only have one keyhole angle, one watchman goby and one false perc. i just got three firefish and one fireshrimp. they really added some activity to the tank! Since the removal of the corral beauty, the clown swims about freely he actually goes from one host to another, the watchman goby is comeing out from under his rock and the keyhole angle is acutally seen more than just at feeding time. WHAT A DIFFERANCE IT MAKES HAVEING COMPATABLE FISH. everything is moving along nicely. i think the next addition will be two or three 6line wrasses. (what chu think?) any other suggestions? here is a pic of the three firefish.

 

Careful with all those fire fish. They are known to fight amongst themselves.

 

yea i read that they will "squabble amongst themselves" and they are also jumpers, but since i am so new at this i decided to try and make the wisest yet cheapest investment possible. (they were only $7.00 each)

yea its a 125 tall. the firefish look cool in the night light!

 

I like your title. From the pictures I would definitely say your tank HAS gone from trashed to prized. Your doing a great job thus far. Can't wait to see more progress.

 

here is a poor picture of the tank at day one of me owning it. notice the grass field on every other rock and all along the tank walls.

and here is a night vid from tonight, i know its a little fuzzy but that is because the camera is a "flip video" and its kind of cheap. (3 weeks and 1 day of stewartship)

 

i guess i have counted 5 differant kinds of smooth and hairy mushrooms (one of them may be considered a "leather????" there are two kinds of anemones, i dont know the name of the large purple one and the others are majanos.(the majano have been "culled out" from 30 in number down to about 5, i think i may keep some of them. the clown seems to like them and they look cool. if they every get too numerous i have a really cool and easy way to get rid of them) http://www.3reef.com/forums/inverts/majano-anemone-73606.html
anyway. please help me identify some of these if possible. or just random comments welcome.
