Well so far so good...apparently my regal has a more expensive pallet than clams....Australian LPS is his fave.

Not much to say about the tank these days....it seems to be on autopilot and doing rather well. All my parameters are now where they need to be and the results are really starting to show. Im really happy with the ACjr. I need to get a couple clip on fans for the tank as the variable speed ones I have been using cant be switched on by the AC.

Heres some crappy actinic pics.

SPS just hate you don't they ? Great feel of depth in some of those shots.

How do you mount frags/colonies?

I cant help the fact that I have a "blue" thumb I have always had incredibly good luck when it comes to fish. Thanks for the comment Brett...thats the first time anyone has said that my pics have "depth". That has always been the short coming of my little POS, PAS.

Most things are epoxied or glued in (or a combination thereof) and some are just a friction fit. Others are just sitting there....like my purple/pink millie that just took a nose dive into an acan.....wiping about half the colony out (was just thinking about fragging it too)

Thanks Josh.... I just started dosing with B-Balance which is supposed to enhance the green coloration...so we will see if I can get it to green up some more.

Doug, I have a potentially silly question.. I noticed that you don't have much sand, like what, a sprinkling? Where does your wrasse sleep??? I guess the rockwork, but I always thought they liked sleeping in the sand.

Not a silly question at all. There is sand in the tank....the flow just keeps it pushed to the back....so the front of the tank is bare bottom and the back has an inch or two of sand. Fairy wrasses and mystery wrasses both "spin" cocoons and sleep in the rocks so sand isnt a requirement.
