That's because for some reason the only thing I can take a proper picture of is a zoanthid.

Time has come to end the contest and it has been fun. I've enjoyed the little tank and the challenges that come with it. For the most part all zoanthids have grown and done well. The one I use as my avatar is not doing well. Only a few heads are open and the others have not opened in the past three weeks. I've tried moving it and dipping it but really unsure of what is happening. The blue mushrooms have not done well, but the green ones have done extremely well. Go figure. The Blue Damsel is impossible to keep from digging holes in the sand. A real little s#*t. The left rock is now leaning to the point where it is almost a bridge. I reposition the rock and he finds a way to move it. His nightime bed is underneath it and I guess he doesn't like it messed with.

I'm glad I kept this tank simple. Nothing to go wrong with the equipment, however there is a terrible noise that comes from the glass in one of the front corners when cleaning it. I've never posted a picture of the wiring for the DIY lighting, someday I might. I thought if I did post it for last months photo contest I would surely win. Not something I would want to be known for. If I had to do it over again, I'd do exactly the same thing.

Here's the final FTS and some of the corals in it.
