I tried to clean my severly coraline covered side of my tank today, but apparently after over a year it has gotten rather hard to remove... So I took some side view pictures.

I am going to start off my third page with some new zoos, the pictures do not do them justice but here they are.

A few things happened with my tank lately, My torch coral melted away, I suspect it was a bacterial infection. Nothing else has died yet although I noticed a loss of tissue on my gorgonian so I trimmed the branch off, hopefully the gorgonian will last. I also installed my new DIY sump. I'll attach pictures and give a total cost:
1 10 gal tank ~ $9
4 pieces of window glass cut to size from Lowe's ~ $5
Clear silicon ~ $5
1 work light from Sears hardware ~ $6
1 26 watt PC spot light ~ $6
Misc PVC and PVC cement ~ $10
1 Euroreef RS-80 skimmer ~ $220
Sand & return pumps ~ left over so I don't know the cost
Total = $261
So far I am very pleased with my new sump, although I had to glass for the baffles cut too small so I had to fill the gap with a lot of silicon and while fitting in the skimmer and such I broke one baffle free of the silicon, the remedy for this was a high priced spare test tube to space between the loose baffle and the next one.

It was either Lowes or Home depot, I think I called Home depot first and they didn't but Lowes did. They only had standard window glass, maybe 1/8 inch think but they cut it to size and it works great for baffles.

Two of the three new zoos frags aren't opening up much lately but here is a picture of the one that is open.

Thanks! I really like the newest zoo frags I got, I just wish the green ones and the orange ones would open up more like the red ones. It doesn't show up in the picture but the red ones have a bright pink centers that glow under actinic light.
I should get an updated picture of my hammer, It is getting huge but after the death of my new torch coral I do not plan on fragging anything anytime soon.

Name that zoo! Just some updated pictures of some newer zoos, I usually just name them by their color but now that I have more I need a better way to name them, so I'll take suggestions.

Nothing new, just new pictures of old corals. I probably won't get any new corals for awhile, all my money will be going to replacing old equipment and fixing my sump that is falling apart.
