    Hope all's well, Casey!

    Well, heck man. I'll be the first one to say that I would love to hear what's been going down for the last 2 months. How'd the cycle go? What did you use? Just been running actinics, or what? How much LR do you have? So I guess the cycle is done then? Did you have any algal blooms? Any cyano? Diatoms? Any coralline growth? Are you monitoring/maintaining alk, calk, and mag yet?

    OK. I suppose 10 questions is enough. Let's hear it! :)

    I'm in the market for a pair of firefish(I think);D And a clown goby. And possibly an x-small sixline.

    Nice start. What do you think of an engineer goby? I know they get long, but maybe he can become the eel you never had?

    I don't right now. The only thing different from this old pic, would be the water chemistry.

    I'll post some new ones when I get more rock to actually aquascape with.

    Got ahold of some more base rock;D...... Wow, aquascaping a small acrylic tank is tough. I don't normally put much effort into aquascaping, so, didn't do it this time either. I change mine alot throughout the tanks life anyways. Here is a pic from my phone. My batteries are dead in my cam.

    Nice flow in there!

    Man that is tough... I would probably try moving those big ones on their sides near the back and the little stuff in front to add dimension. But yeah, aquascaping can be a real bear! Takes trial and error for sure.

    I think that this tank is set up pretty well for sps. Almost a little too much flow for me. As it is now, I'm kinda limited on the direction I can point the return. Still a toss up as to what I'm going to keep in there. Atleast I'm covered regardless of what I choose.

    Can you fit one of those plastic diffusers on the end of the return?
