Thanks for your comments.
I tried to glue with gorgonian to the LR with Super Glue Gel, but the next time I touched it a few days later, it came right off. Any ideas?

Hi!!
I was wondering how old is your tank? Is it working out ok to have that many fish in a 26?
Love the look of the tank. Best of luck with it

You know, being an amatuer at this I was only going off the fact that it would filter plankton out of the flake food at first. This worked for about a month and it was doing well. The only reason I found out you needed to ass filter feeder food was because I was asking the LFS guy I trust about whether or not and how to get it onto the rocks.
He recommended Micro Vert, a Kent Marine product, about 1/2 cap per week for now with only that in my tank. It seems to be continuing to do well, and I think has gotten a little bigger in the past 2 weeks since I started doing that.
As for the above query about the number of fish... Everything was going fine until I added the cardinals the other day. So far since, no problems I can see. I guess time will tell if I have made a bad rookie mistake, but so far the only fish that haven't made it were the Damsels I bought to start the cycling - which I will never do again btw.
My tank started its life on 6/20/06. I have been plagued by the want to rush things, and have learned what to do better in the future, but I think I have been incredibly lucky so far, and have a pretty good little tank going for 2 months in.
Thanks for your comments & questions.

Following some advice I read on here, I tried to get some pics of my fish by putting the camera right up to the tank...here they are.
The Royal Gramma Basslett wouldn't co-operate and turn sideways to show you what a beautiful fish it is. The Val Puffer pic and the single clown didn't turn out to well, but I'll get better pics as I keep trying.
