    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Love what you did with the rock work. Looks like the tank is almost BB now?

    Beautiful anemone. I imagine it will crawl on out looking for the ideal spot.

    Congrats on getting it moved, what a chore.

    Thanks, yeah it nearly is...haven't decided if I'll add a thin layer of sand or siphon the rest up and go BB. I think it'll be easier to keep it cleaned up if I do the BB.

    Thanks, I hope it does.

    Yes it was I was up till 1AM & wake up @ 5:20 AM for work...yuck, but it beats using up a day of the weekend.

    This little guy's top was the size of a dime and after moving the tank and getting the skimmer dialed in better it's now the size of a quarter. That's a lot of growth in just 3 weeks.

    2 new $5 adds from a LFS that also has an online storefront don't know if I could plug them but the owner was cool and dropped the price on the huge monti frag for me.

    Very nice. Your bubble tip looks like a Condylactis to me.

    The one above it is a condy but from what several people have said (including a fellow 3reefer) it's a bubble.

    This is the baby bubble when it was all bleached out (I got it that way, it was a gift) several years ago, the LFS said it's a baby bubble and it does look like the baby bubbles they have.
    I think it ended up the Kenya Tree tan pink color because there was no other readily available zooanthathelia (spelling?).

    great deals on your corals and they look great! Tank looks really good sky! I can certainly appreciate how much work went into that upgrade. How is your stand coming along?
