My tank used to have a lot more to it, until a series of mishaps including two blown up pumps followed by the lighting system on the fritz coupled with no disposable income. I'm working to get things back up to par.

(The streak is a scratch in the glass with diatoms growing in it.)

I bought this guy about three weeks ago, and he decided to attach himself under my live rock where I could not get to him to move him. Finally, today he relocated where I could see him without using a flashlight.

I can't seem to get these guys happy since I added a circluation pump to the tank.

I had to use the flash on the camera to keep the photos from being fuzzy. Unfortunately on this particular camera the flash washes everything out.

Lighting is a 150W metal halide bulb. Filtration includes wet dry filter with bio balss and in sump skimmer. Return pump is a MagDrive 600. Water circulation includes 3 Aquaclear 402 powerheads, one of which has a FLO deflector and a Marineland Maxi Jet Pro 600 in the circualtion configuration.

Other inhabitants include 3 turbo snails, 3 red reef hermits, 2 blue leg hermits, a coral banded shrimp, and some green zoanthids.

Any and all comments and suggestions are welcome.:thanks:
