Wow! Pretty good growth since I saw it last; filling in nicely. Keep up the good work Christy.
On a side note: Two months between updates? A tank that nice must be shown more often. Sheesh, you'd think you're spending all your time changing diapers or something.

Thanks guys!

Yeah Lance, it takes me a few weeks to get the photos off the camera card and onto the computer, then a few more to get them onto photobucket, then a few more to remember to post them here. Its an exhaustive process

Ha! Just giving you a hard time. I'm not too bad updating tank pics, my bad is getting to some of the maintenance chores.

In the second pic there is an orange coral that looks kinda like an encrusting Monti, growing right beside some Rics, just to the left of the Wrasse's tail. What is it? It can't be a Monti or the Rics would be killing it.

Oh I know you're just yanking my chain but sometimes its amazing how long it takes to do the most simplest of things these days

Those would be red mushrooms, they're the most red mushrooms I've ever seen although they look kind of orangey in that photo. Thank god they've confined them to that small area instead of spreading like my orange ones.

Ahh. That's why I didn't recognize them as mushrooms. They looked like they could be but I've never seen any of that colour before. Yeah, shrooms can be a pain. I literally yank a 1/2 dozen out of the 90g every week.

Tank looks great! and im glad to hear about the Mojano's. Mabey the Filefish will take an interest in the aptasia now that they are all gone. If not its a good excuse to get a CBB.

I can't tell that the tank has been receiving less attention, it still looks great! Those colonies are big and healthy, cyano and majanos be damned!

Wow that's looking great. Like how these pics are a bit darker and show the colors off even better. Do you have any wrasses in your tank?

I notice it's bare bottom. I have a leopard wrasse that sleeps under the sand and I wonder if sand is a must have for fish like this.
