Im not sure what kind of fish you have meowzer, it seems all your fish eat flesh? You must beat them or something to make them mean.
BTW the tank looks great. I want to mention it looks like you forgot to put some sand in there
Your FS looks really nice. I tried to kill mine but now its coming back.

Tank looks great. Cool coloration on the live rock, my 5.5 pico tank live rock came looking like that with white ceramic looking covering and the green tint, not sure what the off white coloring is from, maybe some form of corraline. Now its finally purpled up after a few months. Your LMB looks good, what do you feed him? Mine has been getting skinny lately, and all he'll eat is algae strips.
thanks! I love my rocks, the coloring is so cool. Up close there are specks of purple coraline. My tank is so green, I can't wait for some coloring. I don't feed my LMB anything. He is constantly picking at the rocks all day long. I have seen him go after the pods in my tank also, the really big ones.

Wow your lucky, mine only eats film algae, He won't even eat short hair algae unless it's by accident. Your stand is very nice, did you build it? It looks similar to my stand on my 90 gallon accept I went 23 inches from front to back. Are you going bare bottom?
, hmm, that was an interesting question.
Lol, no i am not going bare bottom. I can't decide on a sand that I want. So now I have to add it slowly so I don't start a cycle again. And yes I built my stand.

Lol thanks gil, I know I forgot sand! I was so scared for my coral, it was so shriveled up and dead looking. but it bounced back as soon as I put it in the tank.

I can't wait to order them. I had tried before, but they didn't have the kind I want it so I ordered the LR you did. But yeah, I am not going to mess with the aquascaping before the Mrocks. I will leave it as is until then. I finished up the overflow and am working on adding water to the tank to fill it up.
this weekend I am going to the LFS and getting another clown and a few coral pieces. Not too sure what though.

Nice so far. I have a tub of rocks I removed from my sump There just in a tub of water with a ph in it. You are more than welcome to take them if you think you can use them.

Are you going to get another clown of the same species? Your tank could probably use some orange or red maybe; either in the form of ricordias or zoas.
BTW - nice new avatar pic, pretty

Yes definitely red or orange, I was thinking about a red monti cap. My LFS sells the for pretty cheap. And they have nice orange rics. Thanks for the compliment about my pic, I just cut my hair off and am super depressed. :(

This is great for you and bad for me. You got your 75 before I have managed to get mine going.
It looks like a real good start. Congrats on the upgrade. I also like your stand a lot.
I'll stay tuned.

Yes, the black and white clowns are pretty awesome. I may get a pair for my next tank. I'm sure you know, but try and get one about half the size of your current. I bought two unpaired true percs that ratio and they've come together

Yeah a red or orange monti would be sweet, try to get a scrolling one.... thats the kind I have on my nano. Makes for a good center piece .
Ah how much did you cut off, I'm sure it still looks great.

My red monti died, well I killed it. It was fine till I came along. I have a green purple rim now that is growing like crazy. When are those rocks gonna be in? Hair grows back, dont worry!

I am horrible at updating this thing since my computer fried. I cut off 8 inches of my hair, I couldnt commit to the 12 inches required to dontate it to locks for love. Anyway, yes it will grow back.
onto the tank, everything is doing ok. my frogspawn decided to get rid of a tentacle tip. I saw it floating around the tank. this is the second time it has done that, so I am guessing it's ok. I am going to the LFS today after work and picking up some stuff. Not quite sure what I want, but I can't wait to go look. I will try to update tonight with pictures. May have to go to the inlaws and use their computer. Check back later ;)
