    Hey 34Dawn, long time man. Ya I'm not sure where the money is gonna come from but that is the long term plans for the system. overflow, sump, skimmer, gets all my stuff moved underneath.

    Anyways, as I promised. Pics of the frag swap additions. I had to take every blasted pice of LR out of my tank, After I found out my CB loves my new Zoa's *&@!*%$. Replaced Him with a kole tang tho and so far I love him! He is in one of the pics but he is quick!

    Thanks for the attention Nano, So far my kole has eating algae sheets, mysis, and flake. I had the LFS to feed him before I picked him up. Honestly had I known more about the sun coral I probably wouldn't have come home with it. But so far so good. Feeding small amount of mysis daily and slowly backing up the time to try and get feeding during the day. I am using a small like dipping size tupperware cup with a hole drilled in the bottom to fit my turkey baster through. Seems to be working well to keep my cleaner shrimp from stealing food. Getting ready to feed again in about an hour so fingers crossed! Kinda a pain in the rear but it's growing on me.

    very nice work man, those are pretty hard to keep, need to be fed often, keep it up and it should flourish, sorry if i missed this but what size tank and what type of lights are you running?

    and have you noticed any growth with the sun coral?

    Think everything besides the tang and corals are listed in my sig nano. I'm glad the sun coral doesn't require much light cause I really knew nothing about it when the wife said "if you are getting all this other stuff I want that orange and pink one!" So now I have to keed the thing alive. I have only had it for 2 days so no growth yet, but there are lots of small polyps around the bottom of the frag that should grow out soon.

    Think the sun coral is settling in now. Will even come out and feed during the day after I place mysis in the tank for the fish. Here is a post feeding pic. (fat and happy) Some of the polyps are even alittle buldging, I may have overfed this time but a better pic non the less.

    I've always wanted one. Too lazy to keep one. Wish I could see one in person. Cool coral.
