    New LPS that was on deaths door so I am doing some treatments to see if I can bring it back. It is much more inflated today then it has been, so maybe its on the up swing.

    Thanks! It was super easy and now looks so much cleaner, although the sump isn't always seen I did it for me and the fellow reefers I show :)

    Thanks a lot, I love my fish and they all play nicely together.

    Yeah!! Girl Power!!! ;D And no my husband could really care less about my hobby but he tries to care ::)

    Thanks Christian, really wouldn't have this tank without you!

    Good example of some of the good stuff you can get with live rock that you won't get with base rock. Those are some pretty good freebies I'd say. I've never seen anything like the first pic...are you trying to get an ID on it?

    Agreed, that first hitch hiker is cool. Bump for an ID.
    Some very cool things in your tank!
    The wrasse' and kole tang are cool (I think I want a kole!), and cubes always look good IMO, well scaped.

    As for an ID for this I know it is some sort of SPS... Most likely :) other then that let's wait and see it's growth pattern it will be much easier to guess at it once we see if it branches and stuff or just creeps. if someone recognizes it now thats cool too however. :)

    looks like a pagoda cup coral to me^^^

    I love the black and orange clowns together Heidi! I wanted to do that when I was getting my clowns, but got a little discouraged from ppl saying they probably wouldn't get along. Definitely let us know how they do together! The whole tank looks great. Big cubes like that are my favorite. Whenever I upgrade, It'll definitely be along the lines of what you have.
