    Ok motherload time, sorry for clogging up the servers Matt.

    Here is my acan garden. had a little issue with BJD with increased flow for SPS and lost a few acans.Looks like a bit of red slime I hadnt noticed as well. Thats why I have chemiclean! Also some 'black hornets' that im hoping color up.

    My new favorites, awesome scoly and my Flamethrower chalice!

    A couple hammers in the "good flow" area smack dab in the middle of the tank with some frag in need to get to the LFS.

    My LPS corner. Tom's lobo he gave me and i DIDN'T kill. The cynaria needs way less flow.

    Finally a shot of some nasty coral eating orange sponge. I scalpled it and hit it with hydrogen peroxide so hopefully my PPE;s make a full recovery.

    Thank you! they are growing really well too. I think the My Miami price is going to drop pretty soon. I had this guy for just over two weeks with noticeable growth, about 1/8-/14 of an inch. As you can see its super bright. I'd have to say my favorite three are the My Miami, Flamethrower, and that blue with pink eye chalice. It was a no-namer I picked up from Brett the nicewrasse guy when he took over a coral farm in Florida. I got several nice colonies from him.
    Hopefully in the next couple weeks ill get a pink boobies and og mummy eye. A buddy of mine is going to SLC this weekend and they got in a bunch of nice chalice he is going to frag. I sort of work for them when needed running a 16,000 aquarium set up. So that's my weekend. Diving, feeding fish, cleaning acrylic, and getting paid in corals lol.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    What shroom is next to the rainbow trachy? Not the Ricordia, at 1 o'clock?

    Did you buy the pink-ish colony that size, I love it as well as the clam right next to it.

    My god you have a lot of nice stuff. :cool:
