    Just added some Devil's Armor zoas don't have good pics yet, too much ambient light from the sliding glass door for the actinics to accentuate the pretty colors.

    All the fuzzy sticks have thier polyps extended.

    I made a makeshift vacuum with an old Maxijet 1200, a bit of 5/8" tubing and a mesh media bag, then did a lot of work sucking out dinos last night. I think they're due to added plastic and the addition of a large piece of formerly live rock (which I did soak, rinse soak again, blast with a powerhead, soak & rinse it several times). Get to do it again today....yay, not.

    Mint Chocolate Mushroom - this one somehow migrated to the back of the tank from the barnacle cluster it came on that I placed on the opposite side of the tank.

    Thank you.

    New pictures & the yucky dinos are dying off, I added well rinsed sand so my engineer gobies will be happy and they were busy rearranging the sand as soon as the light came on this morning.
