Its actually a ORA Rose Milli, it browned out a bit under my last lights so it does resemble the Miami Orchid.

Thank you! Its been about two months, but everything in the tank is from my other two pre-established tanks of over a year.

Yeah those were just under the actinic light. And I keep you in mind!!!! Heres a update: Had to bring back one of my clowns, I feel as though it had Brook. The people at the LFS(really good people) had me trade it in so that they could dose it and take care of it. I also picked up a Royal...

Thanks! More nights shots!!

Hey hey, good choice on tanks!!!!!! It really depends on what type of corals you intend to keep. What lighting are you going with? For SPS you need high flow and bright lights, A softie tank you can get away with lower flow and duller lights. What way are you leaning to? Sump with...

Thanks! Speaking of which heres some eye candy!!!

Well today was test day. Realized my Calc was 750!!!! Yikes!!! So I will be backing off the calcium. Alk is 3.5 and Ph was low at 8.1. Everything is doing well despite my readings. Updates soon!

Your right, i mixed up the names, it is a ORA Blue tort. Thanks! I will snap a photo of the nudibranch, I tried looking through pics, but got tired after the 10th page, with over 3000 species its a pain to look up.
