Lacie · 08-03-2005, 12:39 AM

and heres a full tank, oh just my lps are shownexcept for my platagyra brain which i bought browned out and i am waiting for it to gain its color back, i have a 6 or so diffrent acro frags, some montipora, and some other misc stuff/frags not pictured and euphyllias (no good pics right now). The only softies in the tank are zoos, one neon green sinularia i can't bare to get rid of because it's frags pay for my gas to and from the reef club meetings

, 1.5 green yumas, and unfortunately some starburst thats on my fav green octocorals rock and the octo's base is flesh all the way to the lr.

this pic is from july 20 and its pretty otudated because i moved a few things

Very nice Lacie! You have a beautiful assortment of corals~~

I have a green sinularia also. They are very pretty.

What is your method of attaching the frags?

Awesome collection Lacie! Good looking echinos, both the pora and phyllia.

Beautiful leptastria! Karma to ya for zero nitrAtes!

Lacie · 08-05-2005, 10:11 PM

hey, how does karma work?? The fuge is amazing, it really keeps them down. I do my water changes ever 3-4 weeks. I have a pretty heavy fish load. I just added a female green wrasse, and i want to add a red and/or a blue flasher, a solarensis wrasse, and one more fish.
