Ok my RBTA keeps moving all over the tank any Ideas on how to get him to pick a home?
if by RBTA you mean Red Bubble Tip Anemone
The anemone, not you, will decide its home... i have one that decided to live on the back of my rock wall where it can barely be seen..
a constantly moving anemone means that the anemone is not happy/healthy and cannot find suitable water/light conditions
if it doesnt choose a spot and stay there in the next week i would remove the animal until your tank is more established

you should get a nice set of shades and mount them infront of the tank so you can draw the blinds when you want it to be dark in the room. i always wanted to do a two sided tank with the front as my headboard and the back facing the shower on the other side of the wall.
that would be unreal!!!!! i like your thinkin big pimpin!!!!

Nice pulsing xenia. Why does tonga look so weird? Its like mangroves.
Tonga Branch is from the same place as Tonga Rock just lighter and well looks like tree branchs I took me 3 years to find any and only then from a LFS that sold out there display tanks.
Thanks I love Xenia...but it gorws fast so its has its own rock over to the side. as it spreads off I pull it out and sell/trade frags or toss it in my Refuge

Here is a pic of it in a box befor I put it in the tank
