Seahorse reef tank

I know not everybody here is interested in seahorses, so I thought I'd repost some of these pictures here for the people who don't wander in the specialty forums. This is a 37g column tank that is going to be a soft coral reef. Final tank stock list will be 2-3 H. erectus seahorses, 1 diamond goby, and 2 purple firefish.
Here's a few pics of the current system. I've had the GSP and one of the zoa frags for a couple months now, but I managed to grab a few frags for some good prices during the memorial day sale at my LFS.
Here's the Colt frag. I swear it's already grown another branch since I bought it.

My xenia is still on a MagnaRox frag station - I haven't decided where to put it as a final destination.

Here's the older green and red zoa frag (still doing fine, new growth even) and that single mushroom that was acting up when I first bought it. I posted some pictures in the mushroom forum when it was acting out. Seems to be fine now:

The new green zoas:

The final resting place for the orange frilly sponge:

The single green Florida ricordea is pretty high up in the tank:

And, finally, a full tank shot as of tonight:

You can see in the full shot I changed some things around. I moved the MagnaRox shelf to the back of the tank under the filter overflow...it seems to blend in better here. You can't see it from the pic, but there's also a fitted screen with doubled up pond netting over the top of the tank, in preparation for the future jump-happy diamond gobies or firefish. For some reason, the Colt coral decided to sulk for this picture....dunno why; he's fine right now.
