    Thanks guys!
    As an update and breath of good news, I got in contact with a local distributor, and will have my copper band shortly, along with a few more chromis. Just gotta turn around the negatives and try to create a positive ;)

    You have the coolest looking refugium ever. Do you plan on pruning the algaes to keep that look or will you let it grow in?

    This looks fantastic! I'm so glad there's life in that now! :D Can't wait to see the school of chromis and a copperband.

    All hail Sacrificial Damsel.

    Have you considered getting ahold of Tyree to evaluate that chr--.......I mean copperband? That would be one sweet LE.

    Thanks!
    Probably some where in between. I will definitely be trimming some at some point, but I do want it to look less static than it is now. I am thinking something similar to a nice natural looking planted tank of sorts. And I have a bigger list of macros that I want in there, so there will be more coming, possible re-arranging, etc ;D Right now, codium, red dictyota, fire fern, flame algae, and flamingo feather are still on my list ;) Than hopefully, there will be the pair of mating horses in there. I was playing with my temp probe yesterday, and found the fuge to be about a consistent 2.5 - 3.0 degress cooler than the DT, so its a definite possibility (I believe to be due to the water rushing through the overflows and through the pipe, not really sure though). I want to wait through summer more to be sure of everything with it before comitting to it though.
