    I started painting the back Carribbean blue but havent finished yet. No longer protein skimming but not worried about it because I am not overstocked and my SB is very clean (30 lbs Carribean live sand). Have a good CUC and regular water changes.
    I get the most encrusted rock at my LFS (have 60lbs) and recently removed some base because I just had too much. Very happy with my current aquascape.
    My lights are awesome. T5's and LED Coralife lunar aqualights

    Corals- various button with eagle frag, local Florida mushroom, Fox coral, Duncan's, red mushroom, ricordea frag, green star polyp, fleshy brain coral and...I think thats it.

    long tentacle anenome (added today)

    livestock- Scooter blenny, watchman goby, pajama cardinal, Clark's clown (added today)

    a monster of a CBS!

    CUC- a weird snail I bought for the SB today (forget the name) turbos, blue leggeds and one emerald.

    This tank has been up and running since just after Thanksgiving! My levels are perfect, I recently started supplementing calcium which made my fleshy brain very happy.
    I attribute it's beauty to the fact that I devote as much energy to it as I do my kids and my awesome $300 hood. ;D
