nothing real pretty ...

Colt coral (kenya tree)
Maybe  xenias (tentatively saying this)

Are you just getting your feet wet in the hobby I take it ?

Anemones are a definite not gonna happen

Nice and clean  ;D Looks like your off to a great start !

I would advise you to start reading through the posts here if you are interested in getting into a reef tank.

Remember the only dumb question is the one that's not asked. There is a lot of good people on this board that are more that willing to help out.

Here is a link to one of my tank profiles just to give you some place to start.

I was thinking mushrooms as well ... but ... with the filter he (she) is running I would worry about the nitrates

What do you test for and what are your results ? (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates ect...)

Ditto, they just don't care. They actually grow better in dirty water than you would see in most tanks. Same thing with Xenia and alot of the softies.

Yes you can have. Send me a PM.

And EEEEK! No strip kits, they horribly inaccurate. Buy your own test kits. Especially for Nitrates. The chemicals settle, and separate. So if they aren't shaken well enough by each Jacks employee, they get less accurate over time.

If you want Kenya tree... Mine has gone crazy in my tank and I need to get rid of some decent chunks of it.  Let me know and I can hook you up with a couple frags if you want.

If you want some pics, I can snap some.
