Here you will see the current status of the tank. There is the anemone sticking in there with his nemonish friend. Our Sixline Wrasse, and flame angel. Swimming with them we have our new blue tang thanks to a certain Mother in Love! You can also see our blueish purple mushroom coral, and its bright red/pink counterpart. On the left side of the tank there is our Yellow Finger Gorgonian, or sea fan, not a coral, but an invertebrate. Up top there is a Montipora Capricornius coming back after hard times, the most difficult coral in our tank. Another difficult coral is the Trumpet Coral or Candy Cane Coral that is on the rock to the right of the anemone. Hard to see during the video, it has two branches that end with little green doughnuts.
So, the once during Christmas, down trodden tank is back and better than ever. Significant adjustments have been made and the tank's health has drastically improved. Brass fittings were removed that were leeching poisonous copper ions into the water, the complex, and inefficient sump was removed, and all of its functionality now occurs in the main tank. The moonlight is really nice; I wish I could get the camera to capture the tanks nighttime beauty.
I think I have finally gotten out of the construction phase of the tank, and now only have to maintain it, and add corals. Please come see it, as this video does not do it justice, and we will feed you well.

Looks pretty! We'd love to come and see--just tell us the time and place! (Okay, so we know the place, but it seemed like the thing to say.)
Love you.
Anytime between 11 pm and 5 am because the Hot One doesn't have as early of colorguard anymore!
Yes, well, we'll just head on over then :)
I would like to start my own blog one day. This was a really nice blog that you made here and I just wanted to tell you that it inspired me even more. keep it up
