the tank looks good for being so young i would just say add more live rock to make the aquascaping look better

TuggLife2 Is that a ray in your bigger tank? If so, do you have any pictures?
there are actually a male and a female cali stingray's in my 300 gallon along with a shark and alot of cool fish,, you cans see pictures of them in the fish photographgy forum under
"NEW 300 Gal Pics" it should be at the top of the page
chull13 What kind of coral is that just to left of the zoos??? Is that a type of mushroom?
i dont have any zoos so i think your talking about the green polyps, and to the left of them are two different color candy cane coral's

off to a great start, what brand is you light fixture, and also are you having issues with heat due to the halides? I am also looking at starting a reef to compliment my aggressive tank. Looks great, keep us updated.

thats the odyssea 48" fixture,, no heat issues at all i just run my heater at 77 and my lights make my tank a constant 79.2 degrees
but my tanks are also in the basement where it stays VERY cool to the point where i never evan turn the air conditioner's on down here
and yea its fun to enjoy the color of a reef tank and sinc eim maxed out with my aggressive tank all ic and o is watch them grow , but with reef theres always new corals to buy!!

Tank looks great! Smart move taking the corals out of your shark tank.
Can't wait to see it with the extra rock.
MJ and I ordered from SWF.com this week. I just got some nice zoos, toadstool, ricordea, and yellow polyps. Maybe you can help me frag in a few weeks and we can trade?
