    Well after struggling with every conceivable problem, I finally have my tank under control again and I figured I would start a thread where I could post a pic every few days with my progress on re-creating a tank. I replaced my HOB filter with a Fluval, my crappy skimmer with an Aqua C Remora, I scrubbed the live rock and covered the tank for 5 days to make sure I got everything. I also rearranged the rock so there were more caves and branches sticking out.

    NOTE TO BEGINNERS: DON'T CHEAP OUT. IT WILL ONLY COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU LATER. :D

    Right know I have a Current USA 36" T5 Super Nova which I would not recommend. I actually ordered a AquaticLife™ 36 Inch Compact Fluorescent Lamps with 4 Lunar LED`s which should be here tomorrow :) I have hear great reviews about this brand and the PC lighting is more than enough for the Zoas I am interested in.
