Great looking tank, Ray. Are you thinking of adding any corals? Your fish look really healthy, congrats.

Re: from the begining to now!

Thanks Everyone, I know it was kinda late, but better now then never right?
Yes I am "creeping towards reefing" Ireally like the different types of zoos,they are all so crazy looking. I really like the frogspawn too. I just want to make sure my tank is right. I never really test for anything other then Ammonia, Nitrites, PH, and Nitrates. I know that there is other water test I would have to learn about to go toward corals. But I am learning as I go.
I really want to make sure my tank is stable. As soon as tax money comes in I will be purchasing the Nova extreme 4x24 light fixture and maybe finally adding that 10 gallon sump that i have been talking about......
Today I will be going to my LFS to find some nice live rock to add. But as you all can see, My tank is a pain in the neck to aquacape, i keep changing it so (1) it looks good, (2) it has plenty of places for the fish to hide , and (3) i have places to put coral when I decide to go that way.
