Looks good, my tank is not too much to look at. Bunch of live rock and some fish. Nothing really stands out. Course I look at it all the time. Good job on the coralline. Any ideas on how you are getting it to grow so well?

Check out what I found on the chocolate star. I was concerned about your coral when I looked it up. But found more...

Chocolate Chip Sea Stars can do well in temperatures between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit (23 to 26 degrees Celsius). The pH value should remain between 8.3 and 8.4, and the specific gravity should remain between 1.023 and 1.025. Changes in specific gravity can have adverse effects on Chocolate Chip Stars. Chocolate Chip Stars may eat other invertebrates, including soft corals, clams, and snails kept in the aquarium with them. Certain large crabs, lobsters, Trigger Fish, Angel Fish, and Puffer Fish might harass a Chocolate Chip Star.

yeah i hate him...it was my girlfreinds idea..but so far he stays away from the few polyps i have, i can only hope that the trigger messes with him..lol

WHOA! Tiredfish, the tang and trigger you have in your tank will get way too big for a 30 gallon. Do you plan on upgrading in the future? 8O

 

[tiredfish]

yes.
