    I havent made a thread yet about my tank, so here it goes. This is my first saltwater tank and im so proud of it. Its a very addicting hobby but I enjoy every minute of it. My tank has come so far along in three months its amazing to watch it grow. I recently set up a sump and bought a skimmer. Im going to post pictures showing the begining and what it looks like now. Enjoy =]

    Looking good. Love that pulsating Xenia. I wish I could get it to live in my system. No luck though.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Very nice progression shots. Cool green Chromis. The tank looks great, I like the last scape the best.

    I love the last scape too, probably the one im keeping and just gonna add a couple more rocks here and there. But no more big changes =]

    I'd do a little island in the middle, something like this with some SPS or LPS

    The new lights look great in the last pic! I can really tell the difference. After I made my switch to a 4 bulb, is when my corals really took off. So I'm sure you'll start seeing some seriousss growth reallyy soon :) What kind of bulbs are you using?

    Here is a couple pictures of my tank lately(4 months), the orange zoas are slowly opening up, I just bought them today. Everything else is coming along nicely. Coraline Algae is pretty but its becoming a pain to get off my glass! lol
