    Oh yeah...time to upgrad what I have supporting this thing too..wow..in the beginning my equipment was sad :( Oh well UPGRADE

    Still my Aqua C Remora Skimmer (is fricken awesome by the way)

    35Gallon Fuge under the tank, with tons of macro 4" sandbed, Mangroves, Mermaid fans, Pinecone plants, and a brush plant...and an engineer goby calls it home.

    2 36" 4XT5 light fixtures (tank is 72")

    2 300gph powerheads in the back, 1 koralia 7 up front.

    and the butterfly is gone...but a sailfin tang is added..one of the firefish took a jump, and i didnt know anything about scooter blennies and he died (probably because of the young tank with no pods)

    Well i think my tank has gotten enough copepods to handle a Mandarin now...think im gonna buy one and buy even MORE copepods to put in the fuge...and then i should probably never have to buy them again...my fuge is LOADED with them right now..

    grrrr stupid anemone went underneath some rocks...i'm hoping that it just was trying to get out of my lights because it isnt used to em'...maybe it will re-emerge in a few days? I've never really dealt with buying an anem that wasnt under a light..but this guy had such great color i couldnt pass him up, and figured under some light for a few he'd REALLY brighten up..will have to wait and see i guess

    New Addition!

    Well since my nitrates are now under control (as in 0ppm) I FINALLY got a clam! Color is AWESOME! Really pops! Believe I will be getting more of these in different colors :)
