So I thought I would share some pics of what it looks like now

Thanks everyone
Yea I didn't worry about doing anything on the back glass, I figured I'd just go with the coraline look.

Yep, the back is a lost cause if a tank is close to a wall...... I found something to do with the extra Coral Weeds"... It was all purple, now it is turning green again. LOL.............

This is the best I can do, the tank is in a hallway so I can't get a full straight on pic

Yea I keep having to frag the orange cap, don't want too, I would like to see just how big it would get, but you can see from the pick there is some die off on the lower parts were it's not getting much light.
How far from Branson are you Doc?

Nice man! How's the midas blenny? Ive been wanting to get one...
he's doing good, I've only had him about a month he stayed hid out under the galaxy coral for about a week and now he's starting to get brave and swim all over the tank, but still ends up back in his hole, there a cool fish

Just about 25 min. North straight up 65..In Ozark.
Whatcha got SPS wise to swap? I've got my fill of caps. Just got in 10 frags of ora and tyree stuff last Thursday. I got the SPS itch, if you know what I mean.
I've got lots of zoos I can frag, even some SPS's. Going to be doing some fraggin for a buddy of mine this weekend I think, so most my SPS pieces are spoken for. But I can get some. I can get some of the Idaho grape I'm sure. That thing is the fastest growing coral I ever seen..

As far as sps I have that ora blue tort in the pic that I'm going to frag some off of, and always have some frags of the orange monti, I have that dark purple monti that I have several frags of, I'm thinking that might be a idao grape but not sure. I got three different frags of acan that I'm growing out, not near ready to frag yet but someday. Had someone pick them up from the conference in Atalnta, boy were they expensive.

Probably be too difficult to swap frags on this trip, I would have to bring you your pieces when we got there and then pick up my pieces when we left.
And the boss has her own ideas of what we are going to be doing, and I don't think it has to do with my saltwater stuff.
I wonder how bad shipping would be if we swapped out stuff that way?
I'm hoping to start back on the 90 gal. frag tank real soon, need a good collection to start it with.

Hey yeah, no problem.
The shipping shouldn't be too bad. We could save a little by using the same box, I'll ship to you, then you use the same box to ship back to me.
I've got some bags coming in fri, so I could send some for you to use when you ship. I've got an orange cap, the Idaho Grape, then a green one(looks like the supernatural monti cap). So No real need for any more caps. But the tort would be sweet.

Acans are cool too, but we'll have to wait some. Heck, I spose I could take a frag of your purple and compare them. Maybe even frag together with mine and se what happens. Really need to do more than just 2 though to help the shipping cost weigh out.
What else you got in the way of LPS?
Oh, BTW, I'll check out the scuba site you pointed me at. Think I got a couple knives from there once upon a time.

I will have some more acro's but they have to grow out more before I frag them, As far as sps, I have several defferent types of green frogspon, some pink zoos, zoos with a orange center, you can see them good in the pics,zoos with yellow centers. Blue mushrooms, bright green recordias, harry mushrooms, green starburst polyps, yellow polyps,green polyps and a galaxy I really nead to cut up, their cool corals but a real bad boy when they get bigger. lots of colt and kenya. Thats all I can think of off hand.

Here is a pic of the purple monti, both pics are from the same coral, the brown pieces is set futher down in the tank with less flow, it looks tataly different, even the texture, it's brown with yellow polyps.
Just thought that was interesting
