Hair algae problem solved....Foxface. What a muncher this guy is.
When I got the Foxface, I also picked up a Phoenix 14K bulb and put it in the right side. Trial and error time now. Definitely different than the Current 10K bulb.
Pic 1 is 10K on both sides. Pic 2 is 14K on the right. Pic 3 is just some of the SPS frags.

Looks really good. I think I'm going bare bottom on my next set up way down the road.
Please look me up if you ever decide to frag the frogspawn or those blue zoas

I did frag off 1 small head off one of the frogspawns. It's about 1/8" around.

I'll let the blues fill in alot more before I mess with them. Bad thing is the rock they are on has about 20 aptasia on it.
The LFS I go to has CBB's that they don't sell until they are eating flake and pellets. I think I'll get one in a couple weeks.

Green birds nest. There are actually 2 in that pic. Along with pink birds nest, green star polyps, and a blue tort.

very nice monti. I just picked up the same type at my LFS, it's just a and inch frag but it has the bluest polyps i've ever seen, and crazy lime green base. Your base looks a little more brownish, but I'm positive it's the same coral. Nice score

Yep. The base is greener than what shows. I can't get my camera to portray true colors. I hope I got a good deal. It's about 2"-2 1/2" along the bottom edge-$70.

looks great, I saw you have some green star polyps, I saw pics of a tank recently where a guy set up his reef bare bottom, and then let the green star polyps cover the bottom of the tank. Looked like grass, great idea I think I will do this with my next tank.

Oh man. I am so on that.
I'm taking some of my rock out maybe this weekend. I have 165lbs in there now and it's way too much. I'm getting a lot of detritus build up under and behind the rocks that I can't get to. Plus I have a couple shrooms and stuff that have fallen back there.
Time to start the 75 frag tank project.
