Hey there Everyone,
I haven't posted in a while so I thought I should post some of my Progress. This is the tank @ about 3 mos old. We have 2 Clowns, 3 Emerald Crabs and a Couple of Turbos. We have also built a scrubber that is plumbed through the wall behind the tank. I'll post some of that Next.

Here is the Scrubber we built on New Years eve. Really is working pretty good. It's been up and running now for a couple of days and the screen is already completely covered with the Beginning wave of Brown.
 
Very cool. I always look at the lobster tank at the grocery and wonder how it would work as a home tank.
 
We just added some yellow Polys that came with a nice piece of Live rock. Will post a pic here soon. And also I will post some pics we took last night of the most current pics of the tank. We've added a few critters. A Blenny and a Goby. Also we have a few polys coming in Tommorrow. They are all WYSIWYG. Dragons Blood and Froot Loops (I think thats how you spell it).
