My reefcleaners order came in today..(live-plants has yet to ship)
I was alittle dissapointed with the calerpa's but I guess John made it up with a couple penny macro's.
The prolifera only had 2-3 blades to it same with the catus calerpa.
Here's a crap ton of pics!

Any idea what this macro could be? Its not a zoanthid I felt and broke it alittle. Its round and ridgid about the size of a small zoanthid though. I am hoping it spreads whatever it is thoug.

I got the tiny piece of chain of pears aka red bubble algae, Blueberry gorg, all the pipefish and the anthias from them. I am done buying fish from aquatica...everything but the mandarins die on me. Its thier copper system at fault I believe.

Thanks! I can not wait until it all fills in.

Little butt head kept trying to eat the hair on my arm while I was putting the new macro's in.

Really like the look of the sargasum.

One pipefish will only eat cyclepeeze from teh water column. The smaller yellow and this guy will only eat them off of surfaces.

Very cool tank! Love the pipefish! How hard is it to get them to feed? Are you just feeding cyclop-eeze? What size powerhead is that on the left? How much flow can the pipes tolerate?
