Here are some pictures from today, added a couple new corals but also pics of the old ones. Let me know what you think.
Bubble coral, got it for $10 because it was practically dead, but its making a great come back.

Xenia, got it a few months back and it was only 5-10 "arms", it has almost trippled in size.

Chocolate mushrooms, will be fraging soon because they are covering zoas

Red Mushrooms


Yellow polyps

Thanks
It's a Sebae Anemone. They weren't too sure about it at first but now if I even go near it with my hand in the tank they will come after me.

2.) what lighting are you running

The sand builds a thin layer of algae every once in a while so i use a turkey baster to stir it up every once in a while, and I also have an engineer goby who helps me out with keeping the sand moving around.
This tank has been up for a month, but its a complete transfer from a 55g that has been up for about a year.
My lighting is by coral life, two 10000k 65 watt bulbs, and two actinics, I do plan on upgrading eventually, when I first got the sebae anemone a bunch of people on here were giving me a hard time because it was bleached and my lights werent "sufficient", but its been almost 4 months and the sebae has made a complete recovery and couldn't be happier.
Thanks for all the compliments guys.

I want to add more fish but Im still not positive. Any suggestions? I might add three green chromis for the time being just to have something swimming around, the clowns never leave there happy home

Picked up this Goniopora a couple days ago, it wasnt open yesterday so I didnt take a picture.

yeah 3 green reef chromis would look nice. i have 3 of them in my tank and they school together and so forth. it gives the tank some movement which is nice when u dont have a lot of fish. if ur wanting 3 you might want to put 5 in. i herd that they like to pick on the weak ones and its likely youll have the weak or small ones die off and such. i started with 5 and ended with 3.

Very nice tank.....Love the your corals....But IMO you will need to upgrade your lights or else your SPS's will bleach and die and also, are you having enough flow in your tank, don't see no PH's only the return from the sump...Maybe I am blind....Nice tank by the way!!!!

Your not blind. I have two powerheads but have not put them in the tank. There is a reasonable amount of flow in the tank with out them but Im thinking about putting one in at the opposite end.
