Is that a torch coral or elegance I can't tell?

Both.. there's a torch to the right of the center and an elegance to the left.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I'm happy with how things are coming together. I just can't wait to be able to put the fish back in. I feel bad for them in that small qt.

Trying the new camera out so here's some pics of some of my favorites.

Here's my elegance which seems happy.



I found this acro colony I just had to get. I can't remember what it's called.



Here's a picture of one of the two black saddleback clowns I got next to one of the RBTAs in the biocube. I love these guys!



Last but not least a picture of the hippo in the QT. Lighting isnt the best. He is a beautiful fish but one of his tail spikes has turned black. Does anyone know what that's all about?

The acro is Acropora Secale. One of my favorite acros.

I'm sure I can cut you off a small piece. I just have to figure out where I want to cut it.

It's been a month since I've posted pictures so I figured I would get some up here for you guys. Things seem to be doing fairly well. The fish are getting along, seem happy, and are eating very well. I'm also seeing some good coral growth.

Yep. Definitely a fish that will outgrow the tank but I love clown tangs. I know that I will have to find a new home for him someday but I will enjoy him while I can.
