December 31 photos for the first of the year update. The shot of the left side of the tank includes the last photo of the jawfish I ever took.

Tank is coming along nicely. Looks great
It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously.
sorry about your loss. is the yellow head gone too?
ADAM
Yes,
Both the Goby, and the Jawfish, found their way through the egg-crate within three days....

January was a difficult month.
We lost the Fire Goby, and the Jawfish, within three days of each other.
Early in the month, we got a Hammer Coral, but within two weeks, both heads died, and were torn apart by the hermits.
We lost a few Mushrooms this month as well, they just shriveled up, then vanished. Other Shrooms in the tank are doing just fine.
The Torch Coral has started to branch. I has formed three distinct mouths in the tissue around the existing mouth.
We replaced the jawfish that jumped from the tank. The new guy is bigger, and not as cute or friendly, but we are adjusting to him.
We have also been battling a problem with rising Nitrate.

February Update:
This is my first post with the new forum software, so I hope this get displayed correctly.
Right Side of the tank. Green Zoas, are a little closed up after some tank maintance, and the Orange Ricordia is doing great. We have a yellow sponge growing, below and to the right of the Ric, and the Pepermint Shrimp can be seen a few inches to the right of the Ric, hanging upside-down.
Middle of the tank. Green Star, and Montiporia are growing nicely at the top of the rockwork. The Sun Coral now opens up to about 4 inches across. The Torch Coral is splitting into three heads, and they are very distinct now. The Red Mushroom is also visible.
Left Side of the tank. The newest addition is the rock with the Green Ricordia. There are four Ric on the rock in total; two are very small frags, and a colony of brown star polyp. The Jawfish has abandoned his cave, and now lays on the sand behind the cave. The PowerSweep have completely frozen now, but is growing some wonderful coraline.
Close Up of the Torch Coral. I cannot wait for it to grow some distance between the heads, so they are more visible.
A wonderful shot of the Sun Coral, all ready to eat.

In this shot, you can see the two large Green Ricordia, and the Brown Star Polyp. One of the smaller Rics can bee seen right next to the largest one. It almost appears to be attached. The Yellow Tang was watching me from the back of the tank.
