Very nice tank! I really love those little blue star things is it some sort of sympodium (sp?) It is beautiful what ever it is. Looks like that little maroon clown is loving on your mushrooms, they can be so silly. :big_grin: Good luck with the contest!

ok im working super hard to get back in this! so far my levels are good and my salinity is right where i want it. Im now having a problem with my light i think the power going out might have shorted it out. Ill add a pic soon
