Thank you everyone. I'll try and get a FTS today.

Our BTA moved behind a rock and decided it likes it there. Now we can't see it

Its on the back side of the tank. It looks very happy and is always open but its gonna make it tough to feed. On the plus side it opened up a huge area for more coral

Heres some updated shots of our tank, which is now approaching 2 months old

We do still have our bta, but it decided to go behind the rocks in the center of the tank so now we can't see it

FTS looks fantastic. I love the uneven sand look. It makes the scene look so natural!

Tonight was a great night. We went to a friends house to check out his 5 gallon cuttlefish tank and his new 120 gallon reef. We got a good video of the cuttlefish feeding on large amphlipods. Its pretty cool, i will post the video in the am. We spent a good hour watching them.

To top it all of he gave us 6 frags to take home. 1 digi colony, 1 small digi frag, a green polyp monticap, an electric pink zoa frag, a nice acan frag and one other that i cant think of. Hes the same guy we buy 90% of our sps from. he also gave us a new solution that will eradicate aptasia and nusicance coral yet is very safe for the tank. i'll post the recepie monday. I will be sure to post pics soon.

That's a decent sized sinularia dura/cabbage coral that you have behind your nuclear green candy cane!

It appears to be purplish in your latest tank shot rather than brownish when you first got it. Is that due to the change in lighting or effect of the camera?
