Ahhhh ic... very very nice indeed. Looks good and alot more room.
As luck would have it I tore apart my tank the other day to get all my fish out. So while I was reasembling it I reaquascaped AGAIN !!! it never seems to go back the same way. Any way trying to utilize everything and have the most free space left things have changed considerably.
But yours looks really awesome keep it up.

Actually non photosynthetic corals can get hurt by the light...FYI. From what I have read they can bleach because they dont use the light to produce zooxanthellea, it has no need for it. Coloration is sustained by our coals through the propogation of Zoox. If a high light source over time like MH are used over these non photo synt type corals they can bleach out.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealllllly well, again my LFS bites the bullet on that one. Well, hmmmmmm, don't really know what my options are. I can put it under a ledge but then feeding every polyp is a huge problem unless I move it every other night.....dang I am at a loss. any suggestions

Honestly I appreciate the compliments but I am not going to change my pic just because you don't really like it. Just so you know it was a pimp n ho party and thats not how I really dress or anything.

Hence the difficulty in having one..
No easy soultion here but try to arrange a formation of shade that will let you get to the polyups for feeding. do you shut off your PH and pump when you feed it? it might be possible for you to feed the hard to reach polyups by squirting the food in polyups area and let gravity drop it on the tube. Sorry for popping the preverbial bubble but better to be informed now than pay later.

Awesome Pics, you must have a nice camera to go with those pics. What kind of anemone is that for your clown? I want to get one soon, but not sure on what to get. I have a pair of clarkii they look just like yours, but not sure what a sebae is
I haven't started adding any corals yet, but after seeing that sun coral you have, Thats #1 with a bullet on my list

Thanks alot!!! It is a Bubble tip anemone, I really like it alot but wish that i would have gotten one with a little more eh, "pizzaz" yah know. He is pretty and all but I would go with a rose bubble tip at the LEAST next time. I am not sure about what else to say about the sebae, it is pronounced....see bay. Other than that I love 'im his name is Ernie. The sun coral is AWESOME quite a bit of work though, and you do have to have some kind of ledge to hide it under, I just moved mine about 10 minutes ago. You have to spot feed every polyp but for me it is worth it.

looking good so far! I love the closed brain andd your anenome is definatly looking better as it goes along 
i see that the sun coral is starting to look worse? or perhaps it is just in those pictures. It was a little recessed when you bought it but the best of luck
And i hope you did your research on that gorgonian and ESPECIALLY the flame scallop I saw earlier. Search "Rob Toonen Flame Scallopes" on google and click on the first article from reefkeeping magazine.
Also, just to let you know, that clown you have is a sabae, not a clarkii. They look similar and are even often sold as the same fish. Many online stores even have the same picture for a sabae and a clarkii. But you can tell what yours is because it has 3 white stripes. sabaes only have 2. They are also much more uncommon.
I also dont know how accurate the rest of the information from peted is, but a high hat efiantly gets larger than 9 inches
looking good and good luck

The highhat is long gone, but after alot of research and seeing LOADS of them diving, I have never seen one bigger than 9 inches. The flame scallope is also gone living in the canal outside of my house. He wasn't very happy as I have good water. You said the clown was a sebae and not a clarkii, but then said that mine has 3 stripes as a sebae has 2, which one is it? The Sun coral is actually better than ever, at night is only time it comes out, but when it does wow. It wasn't in the best of shape from the LFS but now is growing like crazy. Almost 2 new polyps a week. Thanks for the input!!!!
Oh also what about the gorgonian? I do feed it at night every few days, and I need to move it lower as its a low light coral. But should it be completely out of direct light as the suncoral is?

woops. sorry. I meant to say that your clown is a clarkii and not a sabae I woke up from a long night just previous to that post
The yellow corky gorgonian, as it appears that one is, are easier to take care of than others, but still should be fed pretty often. That's all. But with the sun coral an feather duster, you are probably already feeding the tank a good amount. It jsut needs a little extra care, is all
And once again, i also messed up when referenceing the "sun coral". i actualy meant the bubble. Once again, sorry. And the tank is coming along very nicely

Thanks, and yeah the bubble went downhill I think due to not enough flow and being to high in the tank. I moved it down to the bottom now and it is already showing drastic improvement. Went from being fully out when bought, to always hiding, to now about half out I would say. I am nursing it back as carefully as I can. Any ideas? My nitrates got high for about a week or so like 20-25 ( I was inadvertantly overfeeding
but I got that in check quikly thanks to Perfect Dark!!!!) but they are at about 3 now due to lots of work. And since the trates went down bubble went up.
