Newbie to CZ

[gm333]

First off I would like to thank Dustin for leading me to a great site, not to mention some great deals on some corals as well.
I am currently running a 135 gal tank, dont think I could handle any more with all my fresh tanks.
This is my 135 gallon new reef tank. Its only new because I brought it back from a fowlr three months ago. Only problem is most of the corals are only frags at this point. Hopefully in a year this tank will look twice as full as it looks now. There are a lot of corals just small right now.


The lighting consists of 4-72" VHO and 2-175wt Metal halides
The skimmer is an Aqua-C EV180
There is around 200 lbs of live rock in a 30 long refugium and tank.

I dont have a clue on this guy?

My frag of Tyree Cyphastrea ocellina, this guy is about 3mnths old, it started out as literally a piece of skin.

Got this off e-bay, the guy called it blue chalice. I have yet to ID this guy either.

Watermelon chalice?

I will post one, but my fts look like junk. Hard to take a good pic of a 6ft tank and see something in the tank besides rock.

Man I do belive this is the best welcoming commitee I have gotten on all the forums I have ever signed up for, trust me its alot. Thanks to all who have welcomed me. My tank is by far complete, not to mention still kind of new. With help from all of you, and a little initiative in finding some better corals(the area I live in stinks for good corals) Hopefully I can get this tank to look a lot better than it is now.
