Water change yesterday. Yes with dechlorinated tap (oh the humanity!). I can get about 90%. Today I noticed the first real accumulation of stuff on the tank walls. 

My god man! What have you done?!? 

[duderubble]

A couple new corals from a St. Louis area store. 

 

These palys and the hammer. 

 

And these green mushrooms.

Gateway Aquatics. 

$20 for all 3.

Your pico jar is filling in nicely.  I love the hammer.

hell, that price makes up for the gas alone.

[duderubble]

They seriously had a bunch of frags at great prices.

Nice setup. Gotta love the decent selection stl has as well. If you ever come to the il side an are looking for sps check out The Corner Reef in Columbia, il. Saw some pretty cool stuff in there today.

Looks great

A week of benign neglect. Algae is really starting to come in. Three snails now. It's pretty difficult to clean the walls so I home the snails get on it. 

 

Did a near 100% water change. I won't tell you the water source so no one has a heart attack.

Managed to hit both yesterday. Gotta say, the corner reef was awesome! Gateway was ok, but a little claustrophobic, and their frag selection didn't really compare to TCR.    So thanks for recommending them.

Looking good.  I think that's going to fill in quite nicely.
