Fooling around taking a few pictures today and a couple turned out not too bad. I am a horrible picture taker but here they are:

Thanks Mike - I am really happy with the way this tank is turning out. I am getting pretty good growth - not spectacular - but good.
I used to have 6 firefish in there - 2 jumped and 2 just disappeared. The two that are left seem to be pretty good even though my tank is open top. The only other fish in there is a Mandarin so nothing to harrass them. They don't even seem to spook when I put my hand in the tank - and as you can see they love having their picture taken.:biggrin:

Thanks Catherine - like I said this tank is turning out quite nicely. Just have to be prepared for summer when I will once again battle the heat I'm sure.

Ruth,
You have some sweet looking pieces that someday need to make it into my tank.:mrgreen: How about a full tank shot. When you consider that you were in an sps re-build phase last Sept things are looking really great. If I didn't know that, I wouldn't know that.

Thanks guys and girls. This tank has been doing just so well I agree it is hard to believe that I lost all of my SPS coral last summer and fall. I think I am done for a while now (after my order from Mike get here).
Snappy - all you have to do is show up at my door with your snippers! A pleasant Sunday drive:mrgreen:

Here is a fairly recent full tank shot - I think I took it a couple of weeks ago now.

Very Nice pictures Ruth! You are definately getting better with your picture taking. Love the variety of SPS!

Its hard to believe that everything in your tank is effectively new.

I absolutely love the color of whatever that SPS is above and to the left of the firefish on the right!

Very Nice Ruth,

I wish mine would hurry up and grow in like yours.

How many purple firefish do you have in there ?

Thanks Marc

I started out with 3 mated pairs of purple firefish - 1 pair must have decided to do the Romeo and Juliet routine as they were both found on the floor on the same morning. I then noticed that one other fish was very lethargic and it passed away. The remaining "pair" almost immediately began harrassing the lone single fish until it expired. I now have just the 2 firefish left and it is going to remain that way. They seem to prefer to swim around the middle to lower portion of the tank and are real picture hogs.

Love the hot pink birdsnest. Exactly what I'd like to have in my new tank.

Hey Ruth, Very nice tank! I'm loving all your pieces!

What is this blue one on the right? It looks very very sweet!

Oh man you are asking the wrong person about coral names! I identify them as the pretty blue one or green one or yellow one or pink one or.......well you get the picture:mrgreen: .
That coral has been a very cooperative one in terms of coloring up and growth - so maybe "the pretty blue one that has gotten bluer and grows coral". Other than acropora I have no idea.
But hey, thanks for the compliment!
