    Welcome to 3Reef. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures.

    I moved this thread to the "Show off your fish tank" forum.

    sounds like the file is too big, resize the photo or use someplace like photobucket to upload them to and then link to them

    Very nice. I think your colt coral (Cladiella sp) is a Kenya tree coral (Capnella sp)
