Well I finally got stuff in the tank to take pictures of but realized i suck at getting the colors right. Anyway here is a tour of my tank as it stands.
A chalice I picked up yesterday, it is purple with a green rim and green eyes

The hammer i picked up yesterday, the picture does it no justice, and three blastos.

Not seen clearly in the video are a couple of rics, a three head duncan, a fire shrimp, and a couple of zoa colonies

If i may be so forward as to vehemently suggest moving the hammer away from the Blastomussas ASAP! The hammer can send out a 2-6' sweeper tentacle which could melt the unsuspecting blastos!

The blastos were moved the same day the pictures were taken.

Thank you. As it matures i will add more updates. Just changed bulbs yesterday, i had bought the fixture used so they were due and one of the bulbs was on it's last leg. I went with what i could readily get last night and put wavepoint bulbs in (will be changing over to LEDs in the not too distant future), I went for a slightly more blue look and the corals are much more radiant now. The green skirt on the chalice is glowing and the green on the base of the frogspawn heads is highlighter green. It is exciting to watch this tank mature, i am seeing a lot more pod life at night and am keeping an eye on a possible outbreak of flatworms but that seems to be dying off before it got too bad.

Well like I had mentioned I am leaning towards LPS in this tank and mostly chalice. I have also come to like the montis. I have added several corals over the past few weeks such as:

Superman monti
Pink Cadillac monti
Starburst monti cap
Emma's Jedi mind trick
Pink *******
Tyree pink WM
TEC WM
Original mummy eye
Oregon mummy eye
BGM
A couple of unnamed chalice
A war coral frag
A torch.

I need to take pictures soon.
