Thanks Rick, its been a good ride so far, i went from never owning an aquarium.. to seeing the show tanked.. to where i am today...

october is the 2 yr mark since i set my tank up, i can say for sure i've learned alot since then, big thanks to you Rick, and to everyone else on the forums who helped me get to where i am today.

The strawberry short cake is doing well for me, i just moved it today to get it more into sight and its still just only slightly bigger but its fully encrusted and colored right up like a true ssc should be, i think its about to take off here in the next coming weeks, ill take some photos of it next time i get the camera out


December 2011 for a quick flashback.

Very nice! Your clowns are super active in your tank! Mine don't move much beyond their anemone, except maybe at feeding time. Well done.

thanks guys, ya my clowns are pretty active and since I've removed all the anemones they are so mean when i put my hands in the tank. Today i did a bit of shuffling and moving and ended up adding even more coral to my back glass to make room again for some smaller pieces.

Hologram montipora - this one is sweet, the polyps are half glowing blue, one of the coolest montis I've seen, handed out 3 frags local to spread the wealth.

Garfs Bonsai - this one really needs a top down to appreciate how nice it really is for a bonsai

Love the branching cyphastrea.  Gorgeous... Probably at the top of my want list with candlelight acro.

i love it also, cyphastrea are neat corals, this one is growing slowly but its starting to take off after it built up a decent base.

in the fts right above dead center glued to the back glass is the green slimer i got from you at big als back in the day, its growing pretty quick and probably almost 10" long now. i got some other big green piece from you that is on the side of the right rock structure, it still hasnt grown much but is fully encrusted, not sure on the name, its like a bumpy acro of some sort.
