1st time pony tank set up!

[bgrae001]

Hey all,
I went on a shopping spree on Friday and got a ton of stuff for my tank. I picked up a pair of clown gobies. I also got a finger coral and put in 5 Kenya trees from my reef tank.
A buddy of mine gave me a few coral skeletons too.
I picked up a tube worm and a handful of snails and hermits.
I think that the hermits are fine because the LFS keeps these in the DT at his store with his horses.
We got a brittle star too.
I'll post picture when I can. hopefully tomorrow! My wife is back in the hospital and she has the camera in her purse. I think that she's coming home tomorrow.
I'm not sure if I'm still going back to Iraq in 2 weeks yet. Please pray that I don't. I just got home in Oct and my wife needs me till she can take care of the youngins herself.

That is a very appealing tank! Just the right whimsy for seahorses. I'm impatient for you to get them, too!
Sending out kharma/prayers/hopes for your remaining stationary.

Thank You!

Oh, I forgot to add the red macro algae and a toadstool coral too. From Fridays shopping spree!

I got most of it for free because I built a stand for a friend of mine and I didn't charge him for labor. I said that I would work for frags! Now were both happy!

OK here's a visual...person standing by a freeway offramp holding a sign."WILL WORK FOR CORAL"

Sorry, couldn't be helped.

Here are my updated pictures!

I really like the look of the GSP on the Temple! I added 15 lbs of LS today and now my tank looks awful. I'm still waiting on my hanging kit to get here from the states. Once I get it I'm sure the shadows on the side of the tank will go away.
I'm baby sitting the clowns for a friend of mine. His tank is cycling still so I told him I hold on them for a while.
I should be getting my horses in about a month. In the meantime I'm trying to culture live phytoplankton and mysis shrimp. I'll post more on that later!

It looks great. Love the temple.
I do see at least one coral that may need to come out. Does the suncoral have stinging cells. if so it could harm your horses. Also what is the pink coral next to the sun.
Great work though.

I'm not sure if the sun coral will sting.
The pink thing is an anemone. I keeping it for my friend for a few weeks. It will be out of the tank before I get my horses.
