Finally got a round to taking a few pics between watching Tiger in the PGA Championship.

Earlier this week I picked up a nice branching hammer coral from Swissguard as well as 25 nassarius snails to bump up my cleanup crew. Here's a shot of the hammer with some button polyps attached to the stem.

As an update on my Sailfin Tang, I didn't take him out of the tank as I couldn't get him into a QT without stressing him out too much. He is hanging in there and still eating like a horse. I'm still not 100% sure as to what is wrong with him, but he has a small amount of fin erosion now as you can see, but I think he is getting healthier rather than worse at this time.

Lastly a few FTS's.

My Cyano is still there but not growing like it used to. I did switch to Tropic Marine Pro salt and since then is has really slowed after only a 15g change. It really mixes much cleaner than the Reef Crystals, so hopefully this is the final piece of hte puzzle to help put cyano behind me.
