I figured i'd start a new thread for my tank.
It's my first reef attempt, and i've experienced some ups and serious downs.
I'm getting ready to see what I can do, and i'll keep track of it here

Full Tank Shots Corals I just ordered a hydor koralia 2 and am picking up a BTA tommorow depending on the store.
I would appreciate any scientific or common names and especially corrections to anything I have horribly wrong =)
Also, anyone else have Macroalgea in their display? I really like what I have, there is a huge pod population living in it and the micro has been under control since it got started, however, the corals stopped growing when the macro stopped. Is macro really that good at stripping nutes from the column?
