Thanks. I am just happy all my fish are really enjoying it. I am getting the 30lbs more live rock tomorrow from a guy in my area who is taking down his one tank, so I am hoping I get some good hitchickers with it. I asked others how his stuff was and they all had good things to say.
I also find the larger size much more entertaining to watch.

Ok. Here is a quick update with the new lights and 30lbs of live rock added in.
 Closer front tank shot  View slightly from the right side showing the added caves.  Left hand side of the tank showing the space I left back there for the more shy fish to hang out.

Everything is progressing very nicely in this tank. I took some more pics tonight especially since I was feeding my sun coral.
Under the atcinics: Blastos  Candycanes, Zoas and Suncoral  Cleaner Shrimp and GSP frags  Duncans  Frogspawn frag  Front Tank Shot  Suncoral Feeding Time: Before  Using the top half of a 2Litre pop bottle to protect the coral and food during spot feeding. I use a mix of all frozen saltwater medly, brine shrimp and baby brine shrimp for the new baby heads appearing.  This Nassarius snail was adament he was gonna get something to eat.  He succeeded at it too!  After feeding  Suncoral looking much nicer and happy now!  and finally one of the scissortail gobies poking it's head out of one of the small caves on the left side of the tank.

Ever wonder why people would want an urchin?
Here is the answer;  And after he was done that spot. All nice and clean:  Once the other powerhead is done, it is on to this one next. Oh and you can just make out my BTA in the back right corner there. Happily sitting in his favourite spot away from the T5 lighting.  Feather Caulerpa growing nicely in the sectioned off back left area of the tank.  Couple close ups of one of my SPS I am thinking may be a tortusa.    Acro SP.  This Acro is starting to encrust back over itsself.   Zoa Garden again  Octo Frogspawn doing very well now. It likes the spot it is in.   Pods have significantly increased and there is no where I look where there aren't any. If things continue that way, I may consider a red mandarin goby. The damsel is still being submissive to the other fish and has began to pick at the algae growing rather than eating the fish flakes. He remains to be fat and happy. He has a new territory around the skimmer intake and outtake (which the later I need to develop some s piping to reduce microbubble issues). The baby Onyx are doing very well. It is a pain in the derier though to keep cleaning the breeding net. I am going to get one of those plastic critter keepers and drill small holes in it. I think with a little cleaning magnet it will help and the clowns will be big enough then not to slip through. Of new hitchhikers I have with this tank there are 8 brittle stars, spaghetti worms. I have also been following along with the baby tubo snails I have had. There are still 2 of them in there and they have continued to grow steadily. The sun coral has a bunch of new mouths growing on it. One of them is orange which was an awsome suprise. I would like to get a black sun coral eventually. My Metallic Green BTA is happy in his spot on the top right corner. It doesn't seem to mind the water changes, when the water level goes down and then back up. So as long as it is happy, so am I. Future plans for the tank: - Red Mushrooms - only 1-2 to start they can do their thing on their own. - Torch Coral frag - Hammer coral frag - SPS frags, for which I will hold out for an Oregon Tort. - Black sun coral - Firefish Goby - Mandarin Goby (big maybe)
