) :

Here are some more pics of my BC [=
Cleaner shrimp and a couple mushrooms.

New leather I bought a couple days ago. I'm hoping he will fill out the corner.

FTS.

FTS2.

Shot from the right side of the tank.

Also, I'm thinking about these additions to the tank... Moving the xenia back further, and placing a hammer coral in front of it. And putting a torch coral out to the side of the octopus frogspawn (where shown in the picture). Let me know what you guys think?

Hey, I have quite a few changes to my tank since the last pictures I posted so here's an update!
I lost the pygmy around two weeks ago.. nothing else was affected (and all the water tested fine, except phosphates were a little high) so Idk what happened to her.:dunno but I got a 150 watt sunpod, and a GBTA. I put him in a couple days ago, and he has been acclimating with the rest of the tank to the new lights. He hasn't moved from where I placed him so thats a + :up He has a little cave he can crawl into when the lights are to much for him, or when they first go off. I think he's got about the best spot in the tank, flow wise. He seems pretty happy and the tank looks really nice under the new lights. About 100% better compared to the stock PC's it comes with :p
My clownfish both hosted it the same day I put it in :dance
Here are a few pictures :





My tank is still acclimating to the new lights.. Idk how long that will take, but all my corals are normally opened up a lot more than in these pictures. I just took a few when I was bored.
Oh, and this is probably a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to ask.. does anybody have tips for keeping a BTA small but healthy? I don't really want him taking over the whole tank... but I guess if his size becomes an issue I can always move the other corals or sell them..

nice tank. the anemone will take over the tank within 6-8 months. it can get very big. the angel didnt make it bc nor enough liverocks. dwarf angels need lots of lr to thrive.

She sure did!!
Unfortunately, the clowns never paired up... so once the anemone was added, fighting started again and got really bad. They were biting, and tearing each other's fins. It got so bad that one lost all of its black color. I had to take them back. I wound up exchanging them for a mated pair, and they hosted my anemone the same day I put them in!

Question for clownfish owners... Mine seem to only host it at night, is this just because they are new to it? Will they eventually host it during the day as well?

Here are some new pics


The green mushrooms grow really fast. I've had it for a little over a month and it has already dropped 3 babies. one is hidden under the big mushroom right now though.

The orange mushroom is new... I forgot what it was called but it has a real nice neon orange color. Hasn't opened up yet cause I've been moving it around too much..

Some Rics.

Montipora... Been looking to sell this. In my FTS's you can see how it's about to start getting stung by my hammer..



Happy lil BTA :)

Good old frogspawn..
