62G Starfire Reef [40x18x20]

Took some crappy iPhone pics tonight (gawd, I miss my old DLSR these days.

)

Finally brought home my Acan's from the Office tank (again, a favorite of food of the Butterfly I risked):

Some crazy Mushrooms I picked up last weekend:

My Butterfly that perished picked this coral to almost nothing... the nubs that remained are starting to come back! I can't even remember what this LPS coral was..

I've never been one for trying out Chalice corals. I don't recall ever having much luck with them, but I picked this one up last weekend too.

Misc Zoas:

And finally 1 of 3 SPS frags I am testing out now that I THINK my tank is ready for them. The photos of the other 2 aren't much to look at unfortunately so I didn't upload them:

2 out of 3 aren't looking to bad. The digitata isn't showing much polyp extension. That could have been due to my 1.028SG though. Just finished a water change to help bring it back down.

The Acan colony looks much happier/healthier in this tank than it did in my 180G.

Did you ever get your skimmer issues resolved or get it dialed to where it will skim properly. I seem to be having the same issues with my vertex in-180, and its making me consider going with a different skimmer.

No not really, still tinkering with it.

So I almost added a new fish yesterday..

I saw this little guy at Big Als yesterday with no price tag on the tank. It's supposedly a Super Male Ember Blenny (I doubt that it will go Super). I'll be honest I have not seen one before so I could be wrong, but I would assume you'd need some females to help coax this guy into Super Male coloring. So I hung around for 20mins waiting for some service and finally got someone to stop and give me a hand. Asked how much he was.......

........ $250!

Needless to say I passed on it.... not because I think it's to expensive (although based on Liveaquaria, it is overpriced, LA sold one a Super Male in the Divers Den for $80US) but because I didn't have $250 on me... Ok, seriously, I'd maybe pay $120-150... $250 is a stretch!

Nice! I was looking for this guys for a year, but $250 I think is too much
