Thanks everyone

Jasontkd: it depends on what you consider hard to keep, if you think target feeding corals everyother day hard then they probably are. I don't thing they are hard since I'm looking and fixing things is my tank every waking hour. I enjoy it. They just require lots of personal attention. I also rotate the sun coral once a week just to make sure all the polyps are getting something . The sun coral I have in my tank are easier to keep then the black/green sun coral, because the black sun requires you to feed every polyp daily and will not open in the light. Maybe start off with the yellow sun coral. Read up on them, then, take a chance, get one!! You can't get experience if you don't try, right?

Here is an updated picture. The new additions are: frogspawn, blue sponge, green, leafy macroalgae, a few more mushrooms, three large snails, and two blue-legged hermit crabs.

I like how the rockwork looks in the first pic in post 9, I really like the tall spikey look. Nice additions.

Nanos can really look nice if done well, as you have proven.

What type of lighting do you have on the pico (0.75 gal)?? I want to set something like that up in my office.

wharyat: Thanks, it took me awhile to fit it all in the way I wanted, but it worked, all 18 lbs + of LR!!

StellaMN: Jodi, great idea! Gives you something to look at while you're thinking or taking a break. I have a 10W 50/50 Compact Fluorescent from coralife in a desk lamp.
