Just a quick post on the progress of my 38 gallon tank upgrade from a 28 gallon nano. It's been up and running for about 10 months now. I'll post equipment, inhabitants and some prior shots when I find the old photos.

Sorry, MrDJ...Gorgo's lovin' it's new place in the back right (hated moving it from front and center, but it didn't like something there!). Got it from Saltwayerfish.com. The vertical rock wall was an idea I saw at New England Aquarium in Boston...and my piece is an man-made rock I picked up at a local reef show. Thanks!

Established Clown harassing a new Clarkii. When the Clarkii started hosting the green carpet anemone, the clown seems to have backed off a bit.

Long overdue update. Good growth all around. The green carpet anemone is huge! You can see it in its happy place between the rocks.

Just wanted to show some localized growth with the blastos. Green Carpet still hangs out between the rock work and has only eaten a green chromis recently...I try to keep him satisfied with large pieces of shrimp a couple of times a week. Once I get the water change and glass cleaned this week, I will try to post more pictures.

Just finished installing a Neptune Apex Controller - excuse the "wire nest", I still have to do some cable management. Replaced a Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper, which I liked a lot, but the Apex is so much easier to setup and configure IMO. I will be adding Salinity and Moon Lights in the near future. I did keep one of the Reefkeeper outlets in play, for now.

Moved a few rocks to expose the green carpet anemone and glued some new additions.
