With the big bag of oyster shells and the other big bag of cement I probably could have made twice the amount of DIY Rock....I also had all the kids making them, and of course...they made weird things, like volcanoes and snowmen shaped rocks, but who cares, most are hidden under the real...

Ok...I'll put them in slowly...also, may need to get a uv for this tank, or go back and read your emails on shading the skylights, because all of the sudden there is alot of algae growing all over the overflow. it was actually beginning to clog up the routed "teeth". Clams are still doing...

murph...this is a beautiful tank....what is the big orange thing in the upper right...is it an anenome?

ordered the rest of my lights...they should be here in a couple of days...so far everyone is doing great...very cool to watch them at night...

Ifirefight...you are too funny!!!

if all of my four returns are connected do I still need one on each return??? Also should I try to frag something for you? I stopped buying stuff for awhile, I want to sit with what's in there for now and see how it will effect the water....I have no idea yet how fast corals take up calcium...

sorry forgot to post clam 2, xenia, and daisy polyps

do I need only one of these (airline things) or do I put one on each return??? Also, reefmadness is a serious disease....look what I snuck out and got today while the kids were in school.....a scroll coral and blue shrooms.....

saltn00b- no fair hiding your face behind the canopy...we can handle seeing the face of a genius canopy maker!

the one you didn't recognize is a flowerpot coral goniopora.. the other one you liked I think is montipora cup coral...looks like it could be fragged easily enough...If you want a piece let me know and teach me how to frag it...and what day to have it arrive on...thanks

ok...i'll be watching this progress....cool
