Keep us posted on your temp issues. My pico over the weekend got up to 88, but there's only a couple shrooms and some zoos in there. I wasn't terribly concerned though. Restocking a pico is cheap.

GSP are pretty hard to kill ... i would give them a while to open back up. my temp got a little high and they closed and did not reopen for about 2 weeks but now they are growing like weeds. as for the sun coral as posted on the other thread, you might consider trying your hand a t fragging the good new heads from the rest, if nothing else you could save at least a few of them. if they all come back then you will have 2 sets of them.

Tonight the tank is getting re-landscaped. All the corals are coming out, and all the Live Rock. It will be going back in, in a diffrent arrangment, to change the look, and allow more placments for corals.
Photos as soon as the dust clears.

Here is a teaser of the new layout. The re-landscaping took about 8 hours, and a trip to the LFS to buy more LR (18 pounds more). Did some un-intended fragging, but all the corals seem to be adjusting well.
More detailed photos to come after I dry out some.

As promised, detailed shots. Most everything is responding well to the new placments.
First the new additions:
We added a dragonette. He loves to cliff dive. He will work his way up to the top of the rockwork, then glide back down to the sandbed.
Green skirts, Blue rings, and Orange centers.
Now the close ups of the tank:
Right side of tank. This is where most of the new LR went. Mushrooms and Zoas, plus a Favia we bought a few weeks back.
Middle of tank. Hammer, Montiporia, GSP, plus more Mushrooms and Zoas.
Left of tank. Ricordia, Mushrooms, and more Zoas. Some more GSP in there too.

Its been a little over a month since my last update. Most of te corals are responding nicly to the new rockscaping. We have had a bit of a Aspitia bloom since we added the new LR, but we now have a peppermint shrimp on te job, and we seem to be lossing about one a night, so I am hoping he keeps up the good work.
The full tank shot.
I shot of the new growth. When we reworked the tank, both of these colinies were single polyps.
There are four types of zoas in this shot. They seem to be doing so well. Sure beats the problems I was having keeping them when the contest started.

The Xenia seems to like being higher up in the tank, but at least it has not taken over like Tracy's. The GSP, started as a section about one inch, by one half inch, and it starting to spread out nicely.
THe Kenys tree really likes its new home. Oh, and more zoas too.
We added a clown fish.
One the downside we lost the tang (No sign of illness, just died over night, dont know why), and this past weekend, the jawfish jumped out. (Thats the second jawfish that has found its way through the eggcrate, I doubt we will try anothe any time soon.)
Robert
nice new addition,i am thinking about getting one of these guys for my firefish for company. sorry about the other fish. the tang looked really nice; are they a hardy fish?
