Thanks
So glad I finally joined this forum
I can't wait until our 155 gallon is done!
I'll post more pictures as soon as he wakes up. We were up until almost 2am last night setting up sand and rock in the 155g. I have no idea how to get pictures off of his camera :-(

Yeah, he's a baby. We had one that was a little bigger and the meanest Six Line Wrasse known to man kind took over our tank and killed him

I wish that our Sun Coral would come out when I wanted a picture, it's such a nice piece when it's open, but seems to be camera shy.
By any chance do you know how we can cut back those daisy polyps that are taking over the top of my tank? Our Coral Beauty was picking at them for awhile, but that seems to have stopped and now nothing works. I like them, but they're completely out of control.

So as of 10:30PM we no longer have this tank, we moved everything over to the 155gallon and man does everything looks so small now. My husband wants to sell the 40gallon breeder but I'm going to miss it and will fight 'til the death to keep it and start a new tank once the 155 is done!
The fish love the new swimming room.

Yeah, it was just about ready when we decided to sign up for this forum. We already had a sump and everything and 40g doesn't fit in the cabinet as a refugium. He has a month to sell it, if not, we'll have it back up and running sooner or later.
We'll have pics in a few days. I think the camera is buried under construction debris from today.

Your tank looks so much better than mine lol, do Porcelain Crabs get aggressive at all? or do they pose as much as a threat to others as much as a small hermit? lol
