Well I just got off a 6 month recovery from a pretty wicked car accident so I figured I'd post some updates of how my tank looks today. It almost died when I was down and couldn't take care of it but now that I'm back on my feet it has made a nice recovery.

I have changed out my 130W PC to a 250W aquamedic pendant with a 10K AB bulb. I love it and recommend this lighting setup to everyone. Let me know what you think and enjoy.

Here are some new SPS





Here is my blennie; he decided to carpet surf and is now a goner :(



Here are some of my LPS collection









Now for my zoas













And finally my entire tank. A few top down shots and a fts that is the best I could take with no tripod (its a bit blurry)

Its a fujifilm finepix. I believe it is an s3000. Nothing fancy. In fact it was actually a pretty cheap camera, but it works.

Thanks everyone. My tanks getting pretty crowded so I probably won't be adding any new corals but I will be starting a 60G cube once I purchase a house.

reefman - I'm in UT and once I feel brave enough to try and frag them I will definitely consider some trades. My red zoas are encroaching pretty fast on the two blastos pictured above so I may have to move (and possibly frag) them soon.

How about a few more. I forgot I took these with the others and they are still pretty neat (even though they are only mushrooms).

Ok I went on a bit of a frenzy and just snapped a lot of pictures. I got a few new corals and rephotographed a lot of the old ones too. Enjoy.

Here are my SPS








Old acro first then two pics of the same coral after only a month of growth.


How about some LPS now.

I've tried messing with the camera settings but I have a dinky little point and shoot camera that really doesn't take any better shots than this. I want the new D80 but will have to wait and save up some cash. I have a 10K AB bulb right now.

Extreme before and after

Well I was digging around in my computer today and found this shot. Haven't seen it for over a year and was amazed at my tanks very humble beginnings.

Here is the FIRST shot I ever took of my tank.


And here is a pic from this morning.


Small difference? Just a tad...

Also here is a 90G my parents bought that I am helping them work on. Its a fun project and much different from a nano but just thought I'd share a fts of it.


Enjoy all!

Yeah its a monster. It ate a fullgrown foxface during the move. But now it has a clarkii hosting it so hopefully the foxface will be the last of its victims.
