    Got to go shopping again today. Picked up 3 fish and another 3 corals plus a clam. Was going to get more corals but the store has Koralia pumps on sale at 50% off so I picked up 2. Enjoy the pics. I will have to get a better pic of the blue tang when he stops hiding. So far everyone getting along ;D

    Well the blue tang took to the tank quick and is out swimming already (only been in about 1.5 hours) Also installed one of the new Koralia powerheads. It does move alot more water then my old ones. The new torch and hammer have opened up too. The clam opened up as soon as he went in.

    Today I did some maint on the tank and glued the new corals in place. Everyone did well through the night. I also installed the new Koralia #6 power heads. They move alot of water. Removed 4 power heads and replaced with the 2 new ones. some more pics with the new additions placed. Thanks for looking

    Thanks steve. It took a while to get some stuff in there but it is finally coming along. Let it run 6 months without adding too much but now it is time. Should be able to get more corals after Christmas. Thanks again for the kind comment.

    The tank looks good! I like this view. I've been considering a 180 myself. The only concern I have is the space, which is limited.
