Just wanted to give a little update on my tank...everything has been going great...no major weird growths of any kind...water nice and clear...and all inhabitants seem healthy...
One down fall I had was the two clowns I purchased a couple of weeks ago both died by the third day..they seemed healthy at first..and eating..(as I stated before) but they got white spots on thm withing 24 hours (looked like ich but couldn't tell for sure) then both died the next day...had water checked and everything was ok (had 3 damsels in there previosly that I removed upon adding the clowns) also have a shrimp a few crabs and hermits all of which are happy...now upon speaking to a guy at the LFS I went to they said they had some die off but of course wouldn't accept blame on mine (they did give me a deal on some nice pieces of live rock with some cool mushrooms though...so now I have no fish..I figured if it was ich i may as well wait 6 weeks to make sure it all dies off..and by that time I should have my new setup with a sump-fuge and a quaratine tank...
Ok so what I have now...a 65 gallon with about 100 pounds of live rock...400 watts of vho....2 MJ900 (standard) AND 2 mj 900 (modified like a seio)....Berlin skimmer....Milwaukee PH monitor....single stage temp controller...a zoa colony on a 6x6 piece of rock with about 150 polyps in all the colors of the rainbow...My glowing grren polyp colony (that is growing quite rapidly)..a few differant mushrooms in red, gree, blue stripe, yellow, and purple... a bubble coral...my wifes new pulsing xenia...an awesome almost iradecent (sp?) brain...a torch...a sun coral (very cool)...
Still a work in progress..as are my photo skills
