The first pic in post #62 is my Green Rock Anemone being Camera Happy =).

The Green Leather is just that. Got it from one of the guys in our club back in July and just made my first cutting from it two weeks ago. *cutting ships to California Monday* as I told a friend of mine that I would send her the first cutting I could make of it.

I still wish that I could get a "really good" pic of my Red Blastomussa's. The camera just does not do it justice. Even with the flash off the camera just bleach's the pic out too much to get the true effect of them.

Anyhow.. If anyone has any ideas of what I could change/add please give some ideas... The biggest thing I'm doing with it right now is looking for mushroom ground cover (mainly looking for ricordia's and yuma's ATM). But, always willing to look at a "unique addition"

It's been a while since I've posted an update (A LONG while actually) so, I figured I would update everything that I've been doing.

Well, first off the Fish room is already beginning to fill up (A LOT FASTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD) and I feel that I really should have made it wider than I did. The only things I have going for me here are the fact that I did not bolt the wall for the room into the floor so it can be cut, moved, and rebuilt to fit new needs.
****I've included some pictures of the fish room below****

I also added a pair of Koralia 4's to the mix pushing my water movement total near 6000 GPH in the display tank and roughly 1500 GPH in the 75 gallon sump.

I have also made myself a frag tank (within the last 2 weeks) out of a 20 gallon long, because I'm beginning to run out of room for my frags in the display tank. The big reason for building the frag tank though is because I'm going to start stocking up for Fosters and Smith's Convention so, I at least have a few things to justify paying the extra for the sellers display booth.

The 70 gallon tank is still up and running and is also being used to hold some of my less light requiring coral frags (Kenya Trees, Green Starburst Polyps, and Yellow Polyps) *I'm still hoping to get around to hooking this tank into my system I've just been lazy about getting around to this.*

Current Corals I'm keeping (If I can even remember everything I have)

Green Candy Canes -(Caulastrea Furcata)
Red Trumpet Coral

Green Star Burst Polyps
Yellow Polyps
Frogspawn
Hammer Coral
Solid Red Blastomussa Wellsi
(2) types of Red w/ Green Center Blastomussa Merletti
Blue-tip Staghorn Acropora
Thick-stem Brown Acropora
Blue Staghorn Acropora
Blue/Brown Ora Acropora
Green/Blue Staghorn Acropora
Pink Birdsnest
Green Birdsnest
Metallic Green Birdsnest
Flame Tipped Birdsnest
Tricolor Birdsnest (from F&S)
Purple Torte
Pink, Green, White Acan
Pink Pocillipora
Green Montipora
Orange Montipora
Green/Purple-tip Montipora
Green Base Purple Polyp Encrusting Montipora (Capricornis)
Orange Montidigitata
Orange Zoa's
Brown w/ Orange center Zoa's
Purple w/ Green Center Zoa's (from Aaron)
Clove Polyps
Green and Red Favia Closed Brain Coral
**Green Rhodactis Mushroom
**Metallic Red and Blue Mushrooms
**Watermellon (Red and Green) Striped Mushrooms
**Warty Mushrooms
**Red Mushrooms
**Purple and Green Striped Mushrooms
**Three Different Types of Ricordia's
**Several other different types of Mushrooms
Green Leather
Devil's Finger Leather
Kenya Tree
Colt Coral
Fancy Toadstool
Light Maroon Cactus - (Pavona Decussata)
Dark Maroon Cactus - (Pavona Decussata)
Yellow Scroll Coral (Turbinaria mesenterina)
Orange Stylophora (This is what I believe it is after researching it)

I believe that's the list of what I currently have there may be a few I've forgetten about but, it's pretty close to it.

FISH:
Yellow Tang
Maroon Clownfish
Blue Damselfish
Green Mandarin Dragonnet
Royal Gramma (3)
Algae Blenny
Powder Brown Tang

Anemone's
Rock Anemone Nicknamed "Green Monster"
Carpet Anemone Nicknamed "Mamba"

I'd say that's a pretty good update and it should keep me good for a while.

Jason

Yeah that light is pretty much PERFECT on that tank. As you can see I have very good light diffusion throughout and it has pretty much complete coverage over the tank. I'm just making sure to keep the acro's dead center under the bulb and placing the other medium to low requiring to the outsides and ultimately under the first layer of corals.
