    My guess is a common brown acro. I could be wrong. But its a very nice piece. :) BTW the tank is looking great.

    Im not totally sure but i dont think it is a brown acro. It is way more green in person. The camera im using isnt that great. It was much more green in at the lfs, probably because the bulbs were 18k I believe. I am going to switch to 18k in the future to help everything color up better. And thank you very much! I work pretty hard on this tank.

    I picked up some frags that looked small in the tank they were in but came back to find they were massive... Lol but that is a good thing. I fragged them down to size a bit too.
    I picked up an ORA green birdsnest, a green slimer acro and 8 snails. All are doing very well. Sorry about the GHA and glass algae. I have been very busy lately and unable to clean my tank as much as I wanted to. The addition of my refugium should soon cut down on my algae problem.

    Might be my new favorite...

    Thanks. I think I might have to move some of the corals out into our frag system soon. I am so jammed for space that cleaning is nearly impossible. Hopefully my fuge will make it so I dont even have to clean.

    I decided to mount the LEDs that I had on my 55 for a while in my pico to maybe help my light look a bit more blue. It didnt help much with that but the colors it brings out in the corals after lights out is incredible. Unfortunately my camera hasnt gotten a good picture yet, but Ill keep trying. Here is the LEDs that I mounted directly into my light.

    Here is one of the shots I tried to take. Didnt pick up the colors at all though...

    Thanks guys! Im pretty happy with it as of now. Im still confused as far as what to do with my lighting situation though. I have been looking for a long time and only seen 10k bulbs in 18watt straight pin... I think I might look into more LEDs to give the tank a more blue and purple look.

    Picked up ten, yes ten new frags at the coral swap in Madison. Haha, we went a little overboard. Most of them are in our frag set up as of now, but here is a little of what I took for myself...

    Red and green favites brain. Yet to color up.

    FTS.

    These pictures were taken just a couple minutes after they were added. I will take some better pictures as things open and color up better. I will also be purchasing an AC70 filter this week that I will be modding into a fuge to get rid of that unsightly algae that I cant seem to get rid of. Once that is added I will have much better flow and I will probably scape my tank into a more permanent look. ;D
