Alright - It's long overdue, but here's are my 2-month nano pics - Everything is (shockingly) still alive and not only surviving, but THRIVING.

The pics have gotten a bit tough to take due to a bit of cleaning needed on the front and sides, but I did my best!
Main tank shot

Xenia and some baby macro

Hiding trumpet with budding baby and "Schmuckers" - It's a fitting name

Green star polyps, picture just doesn't do them justice. Can't wait to get them a bit out of the flow of water, though - It's a bit much for 'em

I have NO clue what this is - I thought it was Apistasia, but it's not growing in the same way, nor is it stinging any of the surrounding corals:

Pipe Organs - these guys have at LEAST tripled since initially gotten, and they're even in a fair amount of flow, which is pretty darn cool

Zoa frag:

Schmuckers again, my Bi-Color Blenny:

My Kenyan Tree - a bit out of focus due to the algae on the front:

If you look at the glass, on the upper right hand area - you'll notie a mark on the glass, that would be why schmuckers is so named - That was him, sucking at the glass. I have my very own bi-color pleco?

Pretty simple, actually! Right now, in comparison to when this pic was taken, I've got a AC500 for a fuge, but for lights I've got 2x18w Power Compact screw-in bulbs, Rock, sand, and corals... I've got tons of coraline, and I do have to clean the front of my tank a fair amount, but hey - it's doing quite well otherwise :)
