Got my start here about two and a half years ago dont frequent here quite as much due to work constraints, etc. None the less just wanted to drop by and share a few pics.
I moved about a seven months ago and at that point I had lost all my SPS therefore I am just building up my collection again and things are finally starting to grow in. Colors are somewhat faded which I feel is from lack of feeding and overly agressive skimming. I travel about 75% of my time for work and therefore my tank just runs on its own (no one stopping by to check on it either - I know I am flirting with danger here) through the week with me only checking up on it on the weekends so I have only been able to feed on average two days a week. None the less on to some pics:

FULL TANK PIC WOULD BE NICE :jumping:
Nice thank though, especially considering that you are only able to be home to take care of it a couple of days a week.

Thanks for all the comments folks. I will work on a FTS dont take them to often cause they usually dont turn out where I am happy with them. I am traveling this week for work but will try to get one up this weekend.

My apologies on not getting a full tank shot up. When I returned home from traveling for work I was suprised to see what I thought was a Eunicid worm, known for feasting on ricordia, soft corals, clams, xenia, etc. Therefore, I realized I needed to take it out and of course it had put himself in the very bottom rock of my whole structure. Long story short after removing him due to not being able to fit things back together I had to remove all of my corals and restack my rock. I promise to get a FTS after things settle back in in hopefully a week or two.
Here is the worm for those who may be interested:

We used Jimmy Dean sausages to measure him at first b/c we couldnt find anything else:

Holy Smokes :scared: Good thing you were able to pluck him out. Did you realize he was that long before you got a hold of him? :scared:

Nice pictures! How big is your tank? I'm sometimes afraid I'll get a worm like that in my tank, it's 55 so it'd take up the whole thing. How'd you get it out of there?
