I guess the fowlr won't be so fowlr'd after all, eh? Build sounds like it's going to be gorgeous. More pictures!

What's the UV doing for you? Notice a difference when you aren't running it? If so what kind of difference?

I've had some computer issues the last couple days and havn't had time to update this post.

I'd love to trade some more frags with you Sharuq. I'll let you know when I have everything ready

I honestly don't notice a difference when running UV but the whole theory behind running UV is enough for me to justify it. Hopefully this bulb last's a bit longer

Thanks again for the skimmmer Mark as well as all your help with setup. It fits in my sump (barely) and should be able to give me the most bang for my footprint.

I'll update with some pictures of the skimmer's progress in the next couple of days

The latest additions to the tank have been a gold striped maroon clownfish. He started hosting his anenome within 12 hours and hasn't left since
He feeds it whenever food is introduced and is feeding well himself.

I also added a copperband butterfly. He started eating within 1 day and eats mysis, brine and bloodworms. He eats like a pig and I am hopeful that he will defy the odds and be a long term member.

Today I added a fire goby and he has already ate.

All fish are healthy with no signs of ich and everyone is getting along great.

New arrivals.
Thanks very much Fragnplug. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you and I highly recommend other reefers to use your services.
All arrivals showed up alive and are doing well today.

Big thanks to Sharuq too for making everything possible. I really appreciate you doing that for me

No problem at all, I'm so glad everything made it alright. How about a FTS?

I'll have to take one tommorow
I've taken some rock out and it should provide with a nice place for sps additions when the time comes.
Still am hoping to find a 48" 250w mh/t5 combo (hopefully with moonlight's)
As soon as this happens I can get the predator tank started. I might just bite the bullit and buy something for retail price.

Couple new pics.
Im starting to get better with the camera. Thanks for your help fkshiu, my photo's have improved dramatically. I'll try to get some good pics of some of the other fish. The copperband is by far the friendliest and is really easy to photograph.
