Here are the 3 mangroves I have in the back. I think they need more light and a mist to clean them off:

Looks very nice and mature. The colors are great. Hard to believe its a nano!!

Looks great Jim ! That's one full cube !

Planning to update my thread with some photos. I did some major pruning to provide free frags for the CR Frag & Swag wheel at MCES.

I got another pair of Buckshot clownfish from @BooyahsReef reef at MCES. After getting home the other night from the show I had to catch the yellow damsel out of my tank before adding the clownfish. I'm sure she would have killed them in a day. Unfortunately, the damsel was too smart to be trapped. So at about midnight I drained my tank and ended up taking the rock out to catch her. While I had the chance I also took out the six line wrasse...I really liked that fish, but just too afraid of it becoming the new tank boss and beating up the new clowns. I also managed to get the last remaining maxi mini out of my system with a hammer and chisel. I've had too many unlucky clownfish the past couple years so wanted to get any known hazards out of my reef before adding the new clowns.

So at about 1am, I finally got the water back in and acclimated the new clowns to their new home. Unfortunately, all of my corals were pretty ticked yesterday I am sure it was from disturbing the substrate and exposure for several of them. I hadn't planned on ripping the tank apart so didn't have the totes around like I would normally do for such a project. It was a get in and get it done mission.

I also brought home a few new mushrooms from the swap...nothing super exciting. In retrospect, I wished I had picked up a bunch of ricordea since it seemed like there were some great deals to be had....I'm sure 10 or so polyps of florida rics would have added more color. Thanks @dknuckles for the sweet yellow and pink ric which got me thinking about picking more up.

Your welcome Jim.
I knew you would like that one :) It is my favorite Ric!
