Thanks, if you look at the picture of the large shell, you will notice the saddle anemone that made a home out of it. He really gets around!!

The tang in the first pic is called a Vlamingi Tang. He's a curious little bugger, always wondering what I'm doing on my side of the glass. :happyfish They actually get quite large, and I'm gonna be sad to see him go when he outgrows the tank. ( or maybe I'll just have to get a bigger tank :thinking: ) Thanks everyone for your comments, and i'd like to see some of your tanks as well!!

Dreamreef, did post this pic in the "pc lighting" thread?
If so I think I have the same lights as you, down to the lunar leds but they quit working. Unfortunalty I only have a 55, would love to upgrade but can't afford to. I am very impressed at how well your tank looks...I like seeing what I could do with my tank and lighting. I definitely love what you have done!!

Yeah that was my pic. Thanks!!! Yeah when you get the $$$ you will live the upgrade. I got lucky and bought this for my 1st tank a couple years ago. I already want to start a species only octopus or seahorse tank, but have limited funds right now too...

I'm hoping when/if I do manage to move out of state this year, I will upgrade on everything. I have only had this tank for like a 1 1/2 though.
My grandmother loves my tank, she asked me if I would ever get seahorses. I told her I would only do that in a tank made just for them, maybe use my 55 when I upgrade, don't know. I need to research that first.
My hobby is definitely only limited by funds...because I have plenty of ideas. Good Luck and again love your tank.

Are all those corals under PC lighting? If so, can you please list the corals you have. Your tank is wonderful!!!

Right now I just have the 3 anemones (1 carpet, 1 saddle, and 1 sebae) and some mushrooms, but yes i am running 260 watt PC lighting on this 72 gallon. I will be upgrading to a PC/Mh unit sometime this year. ($$$$) There are plenty of low to medium lighting things you can put in your tank, and I have actually seen a lot of corals under PC lighting on this site. I am upgrading all of my filtration before I do the lighting, though.
