6-27-11 Here it is today

I will post pics of fish and corals next. I think the most amazing this is the MontroMushroom. You can see it in the last 3 pics and it is growing HUGE! If it opened all the way it would be at least 10" if not more.

Wow, your tank has really progressed, and looks really good! I love seeing progression pictures like this. Might have to swing by one day and check out this bad boy for myself. ;D

Looks great! Is that a Finnex M-Tank?

If so, that's what I just broke down this weekend when I upgraded. I LOVE the design of that tank!

Anytime Brian! Better make it fast though. That $1 per gallon sale is calling my name, I'm starting to get the hankering for a 40b!

Good eye! It's actually the Chinese version (Shin Mao)but they are the same thing. I really like my little tank!

$1/gallon sale you say? Now that I'm using the 20L to replace the Biocube I need and extra one or two 20Ls to make sumps for the 40B and 65.

So, here are a few corals.
First, here's the Acan I won in the raffle at the last meeting:

Next, picked this one up from Feng after the meeting. I have pretty high hopes for this one once it colors up:

Picked this one up from OGII when they were having their $20 SPS frag. It's pretty tough to get a good pic of:

Some random zoas and palys:
Jokers:

Thanks Nikki! There are a lot more to go too...

In other news, after testing my phosphates yesterday, they seem to be coming down quite a bit. The high point was 52ppm and they were down to 19ppm. I guess the combo of all the things I have been trying have worked. Thanks for all your help Nikki, hopefully 0 isn't far away!

Woo hoo! Glad to hear it. I have to say, given how vibrant your corals look now, I can't wait to see pictures a month from now!

Looks great John.

The unnamed zoas are green bay packers (or a morph of them), and the rest look great. That acan from Feng is really nice and I agree it should color up very well.

Thanks! I hope it works out for you as well. What kind of tank are you running? Any pics to start your own thread? Like most reefing sites we're picture junkies!

So, here is the new Picasso from Tony. Low quality pic, I had to use the "continuous" mode in my camera to get it and that lowers the resolution.

And, hopefully this works, a video I took of my Electric Blue Flashing Scallop. Had ot for about a month now and it's looking pretty good. Of course it picked a spot in the back of my tank.

A new addition to my tank and my last fish (at least until I get the new tank up)! Saw him up at Absolutely Fish yesterday and against my better judgement, I got him. A Red Scooter Blenny :) He is a little...OK, very skinny, but he has been eating very well too. I bought a bottle of Tigger Pods and he ate a lot of them. I fed frozen Cyclopeez last night and he ate that and then he ate Nutramar Ova this afternoon. So, although he's pretty skinny, he has a great chance since he is eating so well already. So, here are a few pics of him:

Here he is trying to show my Orange Spot Prawn Goby who's in charge.

I thought that the Mandarin may have a problem with him too but they actually seem to be pretty friendly. The Mandarin seems to like to hang out right next to him.
