Inverts:
1 pistol shrimp (paired with goby), 1 peppermint shrimp, 3 sexy shrimp, feather duster

| Thanks for the kind words.
It's really come a long way in the past few months, now it's just a matter of waiting for the frags to grow. | |

| Beautiful! What is the fish in the next to last picture? He's small with what looks like a really high dorsal fin. (or is that something that is to attract it's possible dinner?) | |

Sometimes they get tired of their spot and change burrows together... interesting stuff. Quote:

Hubby and I have definitely been bitten by the SW bug... It's all my fault! I've been reefing a couple of years and got him into it when we set that up in November. We are currently working on setting up a 50 gallon reef and 125 gallon reef- we have the tanks and stands, we're just collecting equipment. Our local reef club has been an invaluable resource for us. Anyway, I'll be sure to post tank journals when we get the new tanks going. | |

| Here are some more pics. There's not much aquascaping to speak of in the tank anymore. We'll be upgrading shortly from a 20 gallon to a 50 gallon (36"x18"x18"), drilled with a 20 gallon sump. At this point, the tank is just coral storage for the deals we can't pass up until the 50 is set up. 
The other 2 pics are our yasha goby at feeding time. In the 2nd pic, he's just about to snatch some food from the end of the baster. The yasha is one of the coolest fish I have ever kept!  | |
