Well I finally got around to rearranging the tank, and adding some depth to it and a bit of heigth. It looks really bare now, but everyone looks much happier and noone is touching anyone else but the leathers. As you can see in the pics not everyone is quite awake yet and these were taken this morning, just before I left for school. I am looking for a nice mushroom colonie for the rock that is in the center and up high and was thinkng of a richorea since they don't like alot of light and this has a nice spot of shade, but then it would be confined to the center of the rock. Anyone have any other sugesstion of what would go nice on that rock. Medium flow various light depending on placement on rock, high top of rock to medium by pogoda cup. Something with a punch of color. It seems like I am missing that in the tank. Let me know what you think and please give me some ideas on what to do or add.

All of the Rock piles have full tunnels under them, that was the fun part of the building process.

One thing you will notice is that when you get the proper flow in the tank, the animals usually look happier. As that tank grows out and the corals fill in the spaces, it is going to look really nice. Keep up the work.

I am turning over 1100+ gal an hour and everybody has a nice sway to them. Some are being a bit shy with their new home and I had just turned on all the lights. You can see on the trumpet coral the white at his base, that is all new growth sine I got him, and with the frog spawn, when I got that piece it came with 3 heads and it is up to eleven now. The mushrooms are multiplying like crazy too. And I am planning on a new bigger tank and would like to a least get some smaller piece started in this tank, so they sill fill in the bigger tank. I dont want anything that get crazy and take things over, just something with some bright color. Just one nece piece. I am saying med. flow because of being in the center of the rock, but I can always direct flow to it and create more high flow to the area. But I can say the tank has flow in every direction and I even place a few of the powerheads to face each other so the colide and make a nice clash of water that kind of make a wave of water, they are even placed to run under the tunnel system, so no water sits unrested.

Let me know how your flame angel acts in your tank. I have always wanted one but I would not be able to catch him if he picked on my clams. I guess I could use hook and sinker method.

He has never touched any of my clams, and they are babies you cant even see them in the pics. and has been in the tank now for about nine months, the only thing that I can say about them you either get one that is going to live or die right away, he was the third one I tried and I wasn't going to get another one if this one didn't make it. But I just love the blast of red in the tank. And the fact they are all so spoiled rotten, cyclopeeze and mysis is their favs. flake fils in, but all well fed.
