...the new display is just over 5 months "young" and slightly ahead of schedule. When I added water on 2/1/04 my plan was to have all the corals from my old 55 moved over and a few SPS types added by mid July. Well I managed to add a green slimer/millipora/monti cap/acropora sp...and a new maxima clam. So far everything is on track and I'm very pleased with the results to date. All of the following pics are recent shots of species from the new 100 display.
To start here are a few pics of my clams. The first is of my squamosa from the old 55...I've had it for just over 2 years.

This pic is one of my favorites...the derasa was added about 3 months ago...both are about 6" and healthy as can be.

I have long admired maxima clams and have wanted one for nearly 2 years now...this is a recent addition. It is about 3" and ORA raised. Its in a very tough spot for decent pics...so far these two are the best I've been able to capture.

Another peek at some zoos...these are green fringed with bright orange centers. Very tightly packed and quick growing...but very difficult to get a decent pic of them.

A growing ric colony on the opposite side of the display. In time I'd like to add a few other color morphs.

When I was making plans for the new display my intentions were to develop a system that would allow me to keep a few select SPS types...this pic shows a recent monti cap addition and my newest speciman...a sweet cream colored with baby blue polyps acropora sp...I wish the pics showed the coloration my eyes see!

I also have a orange monti digitata...a long time resident in the old 55(first SPS coral I ever tried)...the coloration and growth have been much improved in the new display.
