So thats what my tank looks like through a kick-a$$ expensive camera. Thanks for posting the pics Albert.Heres some pics of some stuff I picked up from an unfortunate reefers tank crash. The sps doesnt look so hot at the moment but I will post pics anyway. Will also post pics later when(if) they colour back up.My bi-colour blenny ended up a crispy carpet critter awhile back, and now Im in the market for another nano type fish. Something that doesnt have a tendency to jump. There is nothing in this city as far as nano fish go. Ive been thinking about a damsel of some sort, but everyone says that they are the spawn of satan. Does anyone have any experience with them in a community environment. The tank has 1 ocellaris clown, 1 royal gramma, and 1 six line wrasse. Would a damsel be ok being that it would be the last fish introduced?

Birdsnest

Purple digitata

Blueberry zoas

Doug How about another clown you could double your pleasure. Tank is looking great. Did you ever catch that hitchhiker crab??. I found one in my tank and was wondering how you dealt with yours.

Nope he is still in there. He isnt growin all that fast ( still about the size of a dime), but I imagine I will have to deal with him sooner or later.

Well thought it was about time for a updated fts. The birdsnest and purple digitata I picked up are coloring up nicely. Looks like they will make a full recovery from their ordeal.Man those ricordia pack a punch. I had a slight mishap when I moved my yumas to close to my favia...the favia lost. The damage wasnt to bad, just whited out a fingernail sized patch. So of course I moved the yuma, and put it to close to some zoas....and they lost.Guess the lesson to be learned is, yumas dont play very nice. Still looking for another fish to add.

Well just when you thought it wasnt possible to squeeeeze any more coral in this little tank o mine(secretly want it to look crowed to push me into converting one of my other tanks).I scored a couple more pieces from a couple local reef dudes.I got a couple zoa frags, one from a local ,and one I pieced together from polyps that "let go" from a colony that I was babysitting after a tank crash recently. I had to add a couple LR branchs to build a home for them. I like the new renovation, but my g/f doesnt. I also got a fair sized monti cap and a scroll coral that are presently waiting things out in the frag tank while I decide what direction to go. I may soon be dropping on a 150w MH pendant(hamilton 14k de) with 2 24w HO T5 actinics.Would really like to go to a 40G 24wx24dx16t, but Im not sure. The depth would be cool, but I have two fw tanks that I could convert that have length so, hmmmmmmm.

Thinking I'm gonna take the lighting to the next level in my little tank. 150w MH with 2x24w HO T5 actinics. Ya al think thats overkill? Heres a sneek peek of the floating canopy I'm in the process of building.

I say go for the upgrade! I like the sounds of the dimensions!

Nice lighting setup. Is it going to be for the 20g or for a new tank?
