Beautiful tank...congratulations! I love the different color montis growing together. I need to try that someday.
How do you manage to keep coralline algae growing over your walls? I able to scrape it off the glass, but I am not bothering with the back wall. Just too difficult.

I think from what I have read in her thread frequent cleaning has stopped the coralline, Chrissy can correct if I am wrong.....beautiful tank!!!

Thanks everyone!
Thauro... I don't really feed the corals anything except the lobo and the BTA. The lobo gets some mysis once every month or so and the BTA gets some silverside halves a couple of times a week. Everything else just eats from the water column.
NJ Reefer... I scrape the back with a razor blade and the plastic overflow is a pain, but I use my fingernails and a plastic scraper on that. There are some spots like the holes and return nozzles that are getting harder to clean as the tank progresses, though.
Here are some new pics!

Thanks, Diana! I have had him for about 5 months now. I was adding bottled pods for him, but he was still getting very skinny...like skin and bones skinny. ( I think not rinsing some corals well enough after dipping in Bayer killed a lot of my pods) But a few weeks ago, I finally got him to eat a few frozen brine and now he munches down the frozen brine and mysis like a champ. I feed the rest of the fish, and then gently squirt a turkey baster full of the frozen shrimp right in front of him. He's very slow at deciding which one to eat, so I give him a ton, because it's not long before the rest of the fish find his stash.
Thanks for the info Chrissy 
I fed frozen brine last night just to see if he'd show interest & he didn't.
I have plenty of pods for now, I'm just hoping I didn't buy myself a big worry when I added him.
I can't help but think I did Hope the feeling goes away soon. I'll keep trying other foods too & adding more pods. They are such amazing little fish. Good luck with yours!!

After I saw Chrissy RSM 250 when I went to pick up a frag I wanted one. With the new RSMC250 comming next month I got a nice deal in a local fish store for the RSM 250. I will start a new build thread probably around June. First I need to do some home remodeling.
Now I have a 14G biocube mix tank, a 12G rimless Mr aqua 100% SPS (acros mainly) and a new 7G with some zoas/mushrooms. I will move all the SPS and the guys of the new tank to my new RSM 250.
In the meantime I will be learning from the club how people keep these tanks.
A have seen amazing tanks/threads at this forum.

Thanks Daniel! I use a Nikon D5100 for the most recent pics, and the older pics were taken with a Fujifilm Finepix S8100.
