To update these guys, all 5 of them are doing real well. Now they swim in the front but not always. I saw all five of them just now so I know they are still OK
My friend has some of these in his fresh water tank, i didn't know you could have them in saltwater.

Teri, Thanks. the 5 year old 10,000K were all washed out and made the tank look like it was covered in cyano,
I still don't know how to get the greens to look green. I will figure it out.
If you look close in the center picture there are gobies all over the place. I think there are 15 or 20 of them in there somewhere.

wow the tank looks a lot better with those lights. to be honest with the old lights i did think there was cyano everywhere lol. do you have a court jester gobie? if so he is passive or what? i am thinking on one for my 55g and want him to be peaceful

Youngreefer I don't even know what a court jester gobi is. :jester: There are a lot of gobies in there but I don't look up the names anymore. I would only forget 
There is really almost no cyano in there except for maybe under the gravel at the front glass. The rest of that reddish looking stuff is very short reddish algae that I think is from the Long island Sound where everything is covered in it. The rainsfords love it and it doesen't get longer than about an eight of an inch. The rocks are very old and the glass is very scratched.
I don't have an old tank to compare it to so I can't say what it is supposed to look like, but thanks for your compliment.

You can see some of that reddish looking stuff here with the old lighting it all looks like cyano. In person it is not as red as the picture shows and those 10,000K lights were 5 years old.

Looks great Paul. I like the new lights.
BTW, a court jester and a rainsford gobie are one in the same.

Lynn, yes he looks just like me.
Here are some of his friends.
This guy is spawning and I just disturbed him
These guys are also trying to spawn, but she is playing hard to get.
When it comes to cute, these guys are the best. I got five of them.
Sassy though
I just felt like throwing this in here
