Well, I never did do a proper journal but thought I'd just add some updated pics of my tank now 7 months old. I have officially been in the saltwater hobby now for a year! WHOOHOO! Started my adventure with a 27G Bowfront ghetto set-up. (See the pic)
So here's a few pics of then and now fo anyone interested! ENJOY!
27 G Nano Starter! Kinda makes me laugh now!


Today 72G Bowfront




Many of the fishies!


Corals

Thanks Doug! I know you have a huge love of the SPS but it's the LPS that does it for me(and softies)! Kinda like the "movement" really!

My Copperband was from a fellow canreefer who had him for about 3-4 months before me. I got him in Nov 08 so have had him 6 months. He is superb! Eats mysis and brine(Mainly mysis). Huge pig and very agressive eater!! Hopefully I will be one of the lucky ones as he is one of my favorite fishes.

I think your CBB will be just fine. I have had mine for five months now, and he is just like yours... an aggressive eater and piglet to boot. Have you seen the cleaner wrasse nibble on nori yet? He started eating it a week before I had to remove him from my tank.The little guy eats anything he can fit his little mouth around. I am very happy he is in your capable hands now

How much bigger do toadstools get... looking like you will need a bigger tank just for that soon. I can't believe how big it has gotten since I first met you in December. I was so impressed with you tank back then, and now... WOW!!!
