Ok so i have a bunch of updates first thing is that i broke my old camera "dropped it". Good news is i got a even better camera now as you can tell by the pictures but im still in the process of learning how to use it. I also got some new equipment for the tank 2 Koralia #2's and a AquaC Remora Skimmer. Got a new fish and some new corals and llast but not least i changed my aquascape again.Tell me what you think about everything...
Eagle eyes and Dragon eyes from Coraljunky...Thanks again


Blue or Purple mushrooms can't tell which ones?

Some pink with green mouth polys

My new Sixline Wrasse that we call "Dora the Explorer"

and finally a FTS of the new aquascape

i got a bunch of new pics that i will put up later...

Good for you, you are going to love your foxface, I love mines he or she loves to swim all around my tank. They are great algee eaters from looking at mines.

Some shoots of my somewhat new corals and other random pics
Orange Ric (color is way more vibrant in person)

Flower Pot (my sixline swam right through the polyps so they aren't open all the way)


My emerald crab

thanks my foxface has just now started to swim around the tank before it would hide and only come out when i fed the tank. Did yours do this when you first got it?

cute foxface, make sure he has plenty of algae sheets to nibble on, younger fish (especially herbivores) need food more often then mature specimens (something about fast young metabolism.) looks good so far

Yes mines did hide for a day when I first got him or her, but mines was alittle bigger then yours and now he or she just loves to swim around.

i hate you, i wanna get T5's. They make the tank look so much nicer, and i'd love to have a clam. But as a downside T5's run cooler then PC's so you won't be able to keep hot coca warm by setting it on top of your light.

Thats funny you say that because in the winter i actually used my tank lights to keep a drink warm while i was sitting in front of the tank.
