    RBTA in a nook in my rock. Still adjusting to lighting I suppose.

    The rest are corals I got from eBay. Some were unexpected free-bee's

    Wow, nice new adds. I really like the elegance as well. Just a heads up, they are very finicky IME and at times can be a little frustrating but just stick with them. Those acans are awesome too.

    Thanks!! I'm so new too reefing it made me nervous as too what type of responses I'd get. I do my best!! This tank consumes more of my time then when I had a puppy!! LOL

    I am noticing that about the elegance. I fed it two nights ago and last night I saw it shriveled up and got scared! It ended up pooping! After it was done it opened back up.Also notice it declines some when I dose Alk. I'm gonna have to slow and dilute the chemicals introduction to the tank as it's obviously too harsh on it.It's also in a high flow spot,but I have have no where else to really accomodate it.It's about 6 inches + when spread out.Had to move one of my SPS because it stung it!

    Thank you very much!!

    Also got my first two Acro's today.I'll post pics sometime this weekend as I give them a chance to settle in some.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is a fantastic haul there!!!

    Everything is so colorful and healthy looking.

    The Elegance is stunning, the bluer acans is really nice, love the blastos. Good coloration on the RBTA.

    You should be very happy.

    Thanks to all who replied. Means a lot. The elegance photo was under actinic lighting but it's still pretty green under my daytime lights. All of these are from my iPhone and I do what I cam with it. They'd be a tad better if it were an iPhone 4 with it's better camera and flash. The rainbow Acan, mushrooms, birdsnest, and the zoa's in the RBTA shot have been in the tank for at least 2 months. All the rest are new. More pics to come! FTS too, though it won't be to detailed with my puny 3GS. Thanks again...I hope I can keep everything as healthy as possible for as long as possible.
