Thanks Marv. ;) Lookin' forward to your FTS bro. :)

Ok its been a great process with this tank and i have really come along way. Other than the HOB overflow, i absolutely love the tank right now. Heres some pics in progression. From battling hair algae to having no sump this tank has gone through alot of phases.

WOOT!! 2,000th post and with good news!

I aquired more Rasta's! I found about 25 polyps of them on a rock at my LFS and got em for free. They just need a little TLC to get to the point of the fully morphed and colored up ones i have.

Hey Al thanks for the kind words man,

The Tricolor is doing great, the green birdnest is doing ALOT better than it was. It was nipped at by my sixline the first night to near death but it has been growin' and doing great.

The Blue milli (ithink) is still coloring up, it has turned turquosish but the polyps are still brown. I still am workin' on the placment of it. Any tips?

The Ly seng is doing great, and the digi colony is in my 20g prop (at work). The purple in the back has grown quite alot and the green is startin' to branch out but the orange is taking over the rock part. lol
