Nada mucho. I reaquascaped my rockwork.
Looks a lot cooler in person. Plus once I get coral growing (all of mine died
) it will look better. And bad picture quality... and cloudy water...

Refugium is now full of rock that I took out of the display. Need to get some cheato and a grow light in their.
Only have 4 fish-
1- Yellow Tang
1-Powder Brown tang
1- Scooter blenny
1- Yellow Watchmen goby
Tangs are as happy as ever. The PB's color is really specture (sp). Neon blue around the egdes. Yellow tangs belly is a little thin but blumping out now that I am feeding 3 times a day. The scooter blenny is getting purple cheeks which is really cool. The goby is growing ever so slightly.
Still debating what I should get stocklist wise. I am definitly going to get some Green Spotted puffers (brackish) and aclimate them with my mangrooves to saltwater. Any other suggests would be most helpful.

Return pump died so got a new Little Giant one. Runs much cooler then the other one did, might have to use the heater now, but one draw back is its load. Switched the 50/50 bulb back with the orignial, liked the brighter color.
What else...

Really? Time flew or was that just the flu I had?
Not much to update... No new fish, No fish deaths, just diatams on the rampage. Tangs are getting larger. My brown polyps are coming back. Went from none, 2, 3, 5, now it is 7. Feather dusters are everywhere! Mushrooms are tiny tiny and white, but some are becoming redder. Sand bed is turning green in the "depths". A lot of the "crap" build up is gone. Blow the rocks of each day. Really need some more powerheads. Haven't ran skimmers in few months and tank is still sparking. Probably need to due a water change though.... Been at State for CC, and busy with school... Will try to get pictures later....
Thanks.

I had the H1N1, it is just like the regular flu except early and they symptoms last longer. Sorry pictures didn't come, had a pumpkin carving party and an essay for dance
.
Plus a load of math homework. Good news: Mangrooves are growing at a rapid pace.

Cool. Does the sleeper move around the tank or just stay to one side of it? How would it do with my baby watchmen? Thanks.

IDK anything about the Watchman
But the Sleeper is ALL OVER...the only downfall about the sleeper is it drops sand wherever IT WANTS TO...LOL
The longfin one in the 54G makes mounds on the bottom of the tank...
