Thank you very much.
I had watched a presentation about aquascaping, of all things, just before purchasing this tank. It was all about the way the eye works and how you can use that, to make the most out of your tank. The guy was saying "it's not whats in the tank, its how its arranged." and it's true, I think.
I was going for a kind of "reef flat" look. I wanted it to be like every where you look, you see something different, from a different angle. I am hoping that it will look a little better once all the coral has kinda settled in and grown out a bit.
Thanks for the compliments on the frog spawn. I actually bought it the way that it is. I am trying to not buy frags and buy whole colonies most of the time now. I feel like a the frags looks stupid in this huge tank. Why hasn't yours done anything?

UpDaTe!!!!!

I got new ballasts today. The man is putting them in, as we speak and we are also replacing the old 10k bulbs with Phoenix Hexarc 14ks. The color is wwwooorrrllldddssss different. AND no more flickering bulbs!! YAY!!
I also got a skimmer all put it, which will really help with my bioload since I just bought s'more new fish.
I bought a 5-6in hippo tang. This guy eats and poos like a pig. His name is babe. I also got a pearly jaw fish, which I think could be dead, since I haven't seen him since he was added.
This tank is really starting to come together and I will try to get some pics up within the next day or so!

Thank you handbanana. That is probably one of the nicest things anyone has said about my tank. I am very proud of this setup. All of the fish seem super happy and are adjusting well.
Meowzer- I got an asm g 2. I loooovvvveeeee it!!! It already pulled a half a cup of crud from the water!! Unbeleivable! It fits really well in my skimmer and it is super quiet. No pictures yet. I was hoping to get a few in tonight, but I got home from work late. I will have to get to it tomorrow and I will try my bestest!!!

Tell me about it.
So I have booked a massage and facial and then I am gonna come home, all relaxed and play with the camera and try to get some nice pictures for you folks. I will try to get the new fishies but no promises.
P.s. I am finding little burrows everywhere, which makes me think that that little stinker jaw fish IS alive. And that is a good thing. Hopefully, he stays that way and I start to see him more. That would be lovely.

Looks great, I like the close-ups of the worms.
Thank you very much. Hard shot to get...must be very patient. Those were the two that came out, out of like 100. lol wish the coco worm was bigger so I could get in the middle of it like the pictures of the feather dusters.
Sorry no pics that are worth posting yet. But there will be. I am just exhausted lately and have been sleeping none stop.

I am happy with them. Not as good as the others. Water has been cloudy due to adding more sand. Still need pictures of my blue tang, the green canary blenny( which went missing 2 days ago), my clowns together, the montiporas (green and red) and also a picture of my orange fire fish. Probably a
couple other guys too.
Thanks for looking moewzer. I can always count on you
