First I want to say thanks to all the members here who have helped me build my tank. Its about 10 months since my first piece of coral went into the tank and I would say that over 90% of the total stock has come from the members on this forum. How is that for a community strength!

I have learned alot from many people here and I appreciate all the help that has come along the way.

Anyway, here it is 10 months later, these photos were taken just a few minutes ago, I promise to get better pics in the daytime but I had a few minutes and said what the heck!

Here they are......

I see my leather and octospawn. What else came from my tank? yellow polyps?
possibly? I am not sure any more because there have been so many people who have sold me things but if you remember them, then I probably got them from you, thx!!!!!!

Yes, I am looking for more fish but the saddle clowns are mated and she has turned very aggressive. I plan on trading the pair to DavidM once I can catch her, but I cannot. I borrowed a fish trap from BigAir, and fed them through it for over a month and the little ***** would swim up to the entrance but never go in! She is smart, shifty and mean. So far she killed at least 4 other fish including a pair of black clowns. :( I cannot wait to get her......


The tank will actually photograph much better in daytime. The colors are so much more vibrant. I will try to get some better pics up soon.

you should get the Coralvue reeflux bulbs for those 250s, you'll get better coloration and growth. I gotta see your setup, I was looking at your old pics and the stand and canopy looks killer.
