**Update 11/19/13**
Alright guys I've been super busy lately and I've just been down and out for a while and haven't had time to update anything, I have 2 new editions to my tank, I got a small Green Star Polyp frag for $10 and an awesome Torch coral for $15, and let me tell you, they looki better here then they did in the frag tank at my lrs, they were getting blasted with flow over there and here, I recently just redirected everything and now the flow is perfect for my hammer, torch, and gsp, oh and one of my zoa colonies has gone rouge and the other has about 9 new heads! Alright guys that's enough jabbering here some pics! Enjoy
