Now some of you know I just went through a bad spell with my tank. Some of my SPS RTN'ed, including an acro frag from IMAC 2 years ago that John Kelly gave me, and the green plating monti that Frankie sent me.. and a false superman monti I got from a frag demo about two months ago. Well, I have some good news.. they don't look the best, but they are starting to come back. They all appeared to be completly gone. However, apparently, there was a tiny bit of life left in them, and now they are coming back. heres some pics:

John Kelly Acro:

And the plating Monti from Frankie!

So I think I have talked my friend John Kelly into coming over, and helping me gut my tank, get rid of all the mushrooms and GSP, and giving the rocks a good scrub to get rid of some of the HA that you can see in the pics. I don't have very much HA, but it still bothers me. And then re-aquascaping the tank for yet another look. The current rock setup lacks for placement of SPS corals,.. All my Zoanthids are going to hit the sandbed in front of the rocks, My frogspawn will also stay low somewhere in the tank, and the 6 year old goni will have to be moved again. I am also keeping my red blastos, but other than that, pretty much everything else I have, will not be in the tank anymore.. This should give me plenty of room for my new and future SPS purchases. I have however found that it is very difficult to find whole SPS colonies on the internet. Most of the sites just sell frags, although I dont mind having frags, I want a little more to look at in the tank.. So a couple large SPS colonies of some sort are on the shopping list if I can find any.

Thanks for lookin!
