The water is somewhat cleared - you can kinda see the rock scape! 

 

You know, I don't mind the orbit light - it's a nice little light and pretty easy to use. But I will say, a nanobox tide is going over this tank when the contest is over lol. I love my nanobox lights :)

Thanks jack! I wanted some caves and stuff the angler could swim around in.

Behind the branch rock, there's a mangrove planter filled with Fiji mud. I'm curious to see how it works and if the 6" of mud will help with filtration

...I'm jealous. I have a nifty idea for my rock work but I'm not sure how elegantly I can pull it off.

This took me longer than I'd like to admit to get to the point of me liking it lol 

Made my first purchase of corals for the tank! They will go in one of the other tanks until the 14 is ready. 

 

A torch and two octospawn!

That's a hell of a deal!

I know, right?? I think the best deals are sometimes with local Reefers you get to know. And you can trade too. I think it's one of my favorite parts of this hobby

Lmao - I don't think so! But maybe they are superduper euphyllia!

Hey what are torches and stuff worth? The torch has two heads, one octospawn has 2 heads and the other has 3 heads I think. But they have super long stalks which I really like as it will add structure

Usually $20 a head, $30 2 heads, $40 3 heads and so on.  If yours look like GOLD torches though so you just exceeded your maximum $250 value.  Just sell them to me for $20 each so you can get more stuff =P.

Ok one more piece of coral I'm putting in once done cycling. This is for value purposes. Blue bush rhodactis. Stiggies are long gone (melted ?)

And these two mushies are going in as well. I got the first green one from legendary almost two years ago and then the other reddish one I picked up at the LFS a few months ago. Got valuation of $60 for both from Kat and Ben since I don't have the receipts

Mushies! :wub:

I love mushies.  That's going to be the primary focus of this tank :)  Along with some macro algae.

Yay!  I love 'em too.  St. Thomas are my fave, and Discosoma carlgreni can be quite stunning (the ones I had from Reef Gardener certainly were, I was heartbroken to lose them all in the crash).

I have one carlgreni - boy, does it sting stuff!  It's a pretty aggressive mushroom.  Rhodactis I think are my favorite (for now)

Really?  I used to have one on a rock by itself (on which it moved around and dropped four babies lol) so it never encountered anything.  Good to know!  It's hard to find info on it from what I remember (haven't looked in a while) since it's not as common as other Discosoma.
