    Just replaced my MH bulb on one side at the exact six month mark. The other bulb was a replacement for a defective one that stopped firing up properly after about 5 weeks, and Current USA replaced it no questions asked, I only faxed a copy of my receipt with purchase date. My frogspawn isn't extending as much as usual and it may have been that bulb getting old and not reaching down to where the coral was, or it doesn't like where it is. It's a pain to move it but I might have to. Before and after pics to follow

    Well, it's been 14 months since I took over this tank. I haven't added anything new since the Midas Blenny, so stocking is at: False Perc., Sixline Wrasse, Midas Blenny, Yellow Clown Goby, Sailfin Tang (veliferum). 3 large colonies green button polyps, mauve lobophyllia colony, open brain, candy cane coral, sun coral colony, frogspawn, 3 varieties ricordea, 3 peppermint shrimp, blood shrimp, cleaner shrimp, some blue legs, Florida cerith, dwarf cerith, nassarius, astrea, nerite and periwinkle snails for CUC. It is time to pass the Sailfin along to someone with a bigger tank. He came with the tank and is now too big, not enough swimming room and his fins catch on the rock. I hope to get him out soon. Everyone else is size appropriate and all looks well!

    Will be updating pics asap, things look so much bigger. I just made a fresh batch of mush for the tank, changed up the ingredients just a bit, this is only the second time I've made it but new additions were some fresh tuna, Meaty Mix and Herbivore Mix, both from Reefcleaners.org, tried it out on the tank and they went crazy for it, more so than the last batch which the tang liked the most.

    here's an update of my nano, I have to rig up a different light solution so the top isn't up, it's not aesthetically pleasing, and there is a jump guard so the twins can't escape. I just re-scaped the corals in the DT, need to take pics with lights on tomorrow
