It's been a REAL pain TBO. I have to top off everyday. I can't do a ATO with a reserve because of where the tank is, it would just be a HUGE eye sore. No new corals other then what the pics show. I'm actually getting some more coral today. So I'll have new pics later.
I went the Par38 because I liked it more and felt it made the colors really pop! The stock light just made it look so dull IMO.
that's pretty much it for now.
I was toying with the idea of using my little nano 240 but the tank is so small I didn't like the way it looked in the tank.
I have the upgraded pump which is giving me 180gph rather then the stock 92gph.
I'll post new pics later today. That LFS I mentioned in the thread earlier is doing that 15 dollar frag tank and then there doing the bigger frag tank 4 for a $100.

Man, that is one AMAZING LFS you have up in NYC brother. I'm jealous. In the same breath I'm not because I'd be broke. You going to the frag sale?

Well no new corals. And I lost Moe the goby 
He jumped! Left some scribble on the glass. Something about being tired of hearing the Mickey Mouse ClubHouse theme and the hotdog song.
I just picked up a yellow watchmen. The pistol shrimp seems to have taken a liking to the goby already. Posting video in a few.

Didn't buy them as a pair but they seem to have become pretty good friends lol.
My sand bed is 5" and that shrimp just plows threw it! Covered half my zoas!! I HAD a nice zoa garden going on the sand bed... Oh well! The shrimp had different plans. There's actually zoas now on the side and behind the rocks. He's just moving things wherever he wants, always keeping busy.

The shrimp for a couple of weeks. The goby since yesterday. I had a different goby but he jumped out of the tank to his death. Seems like they were meant for each other.

I have a YWG and pistol too. Did you put some shell fragments near the opening of the burrow? I put some there and pistol has used them all to shore up walls of the burrow. It's funny to watch him pull these frags that I thought would be too big for him into the burrow. And then he'll put small ones up on top of the bigger ones. He's quite the engineer!! Meanwhile, the YWG just tries not to get squished by the shell frags the pistol is dragging by him. Hilarious to watch!!
