    Sweet tank! Miz Blenny is awesome looking. I really want to get a Duncan, but they seem so expensive at the LFS I go to, ~$18/head.

    Your LFS is off their rockers!! Green Duncan usually goes for $6 a head and the Purple like mine around $9.

    Check out HappyCoral.com He has some available now. That's where I got mine. Started out with just 4 heads and I now have 8 :)

    Update: All's well with my tank. Found out that Maxi Mini's like to eat snails lol. Bought a new RedSea Pro test kit and so far I'm liking it. Yet I've only been able to compare it to the API. Which is what I've been using for 2+yrs. Corals are all healthy and growing well. Got a new deep water acro from a friend. Traded my purple gorgonian for it. The gorg was getting way to tall for my tank. So off to a bigger tank she went :) My Purple Duncan has 4 new heads showing :) and my Trumpet it working on 3 new heads :) My Tridacna Crocea clam is showing a lot of new growth on her shell and her mantel always looks like she's gonna fly away :)
    Took a few top down pics~first time. Hope you all like em.

    Nana tank looks Sweet!! That clam is so cool you are way brave to keep a clam, maybe down the road I will take the plunge ;) What is the difference in the red sea kit vs the ok API ( I use the API). Oh and I LOVE your top down picture!

    Lots of changes since my last post. Bought a new Firefish and clown goby. Re-homed Cujo the occy clown. Yea me!!
    I have decided to stick with my t5ho's for now. Ordered 4 new bulbs including the new ATI coral plus. Also ordered the Hydor Slim Skim nano skimmer. This will hopefully take the place of my in-tank pre skimmer box, by removing surface protein.
    I lost a couple acros and 1 Favia, not the Xmas tree :) Alk issues don't ya know.
    Bought 2 sexy shrimp, a small frag of green clove polyps and some bumble bee snails.
    Think that's about it for now :)

    Treated tank for FW. That was a joy. NOT! Thanks LFS.

    Tank is looking great Nana! Sorry to hear about the alk issues. It seems to happen all too often and easily.

    Yeah it's a drag that the WC aren't keeping it in check. Was hoping if I upped it to 1x bi weekly it would. So now it's back to dosing :(
