Well, I've decided to start fresh with my 26 gallon bow front. So, today, my tank went from this:

to this:

Very excited! More details as soon as I know them.

Ok, here's the details so far.

My bow was a birthday present not this last October but the one before from my husband and daughter. This is the tank that got me started in reefing! So, when I got my 55 and moved my ponies, I knew I had to keep this tank. I was going to keep the sand and the rock all set up but when I moved it downstairs to my studio the sand reeked so I'm starting from the beginning. I froze the rocks to try and get the bristle worms out but when I put them in the tank just now, some of them crawled out. Ugh. The big one in the middle is new and dead. So, before I add the live sand I'll have to figure something out.

I'm either going to put a couple clowns, H. reidi, or H. fuscus. Don't know yet.

Suggestions?

Nope, the fuscus is nicknamed the "sea pony" because it's a bit small. I could easily fit 4 in there and if I had a wicked filtration system I could do 6. If I did reidi I could do 4.

Ooohhh....that sounds so exciting. To have that many ponies in one tank, would keep your attention for hours.
 
I added some rocks a few days ago. Today, I moved some corals in and Seven, my firefish. This picture is double posted one is on my photo gallery thread.

This shot was done with my Kodak POS autofocus. My tank has been mostly just sitting around waiting for me to decide what I wanted to do with it. I've got some nice macro going and today I got a starfish for the tank! We named him Twinkle but he's just been sitting in that same spot since this morning. Hope he's ok.

I ordered some stuff from Tampa Bay Saltwater, some scallops, and some sponges for this tank. I think I'm going to do a fish in here and a group of sexy shrimp. The firefish is moving to my 14 gallon biocube.
