It's looking good. I like your aquascaping, it looks like it leaves alot of swimming space.

Thank you. I actually stumbled upon that aquascaping by accident. I was pulling out my rock to catch my damsel and when I pulled it all out of the right side, I though it looked pretty nice like the edge of a reef. Heres what it looked like before, you can see the resemblance.

Yep. Hes a active little guy. Its fun to watch him try to clean the clownfish. They dont take too kindly to it and they try to buck him off. I dont think he's managed to hold on for the full 8 seconds yet.

150W MH and 2 dual 96W actinics. Believe me I want more corals. I'm just a little strapped for cash right now. I'd like to get my Calcium and Alkalinity under control before adding anything else too.

To tell you the truth I think I like the old aquascaping a bit better too. I just wanted to try out the open space for a while. It wont take long to put it back the way it was anyways. I'm going to get a Royal Gramma next (My girlfriends favorite) and I'd love to have a Flame Angel in there too but I still dont know if I'm willing to risk it with my corals. The Yellow belly Damsel is going back to the store. I really love his coloration but its not worth having him if the other fish are going to be scared into the corners all the time.
