Well thank you skratikans. The fish you see there is a Green Mandarin, also known as the Striped Mandarinfish or Green Mandarinfish. Here's some dope on it:
The head and body of the Green Mandarin, also known as the Striped Mandarinfish or Green Mandarinfish, are a mazelike combination of blue, orange, and green. Males may be distinguished from females by their more-elongated first dorsal spine. It is extremely popular with aquarists because of its unusual beauty.
It should be kept in a well-established 30 gallon or larger aquarium with live rock, live sand, and plenty of hiding places. It is moderately hardy in reef aquariums if given special care. It is not overly aggressive towards other fish, except for conspecifics.
The Green Mandarin has been known to spawn successfully in an aquarium.
It feeds on a variety of vitamin-enriched live brine shrimp, live black worms, and natural prey on live rock and live sand.

Anyhow, the lights currently are Coralife's 36" AQUALIGHT WITH 1-96W ACTINIC / 1-96W 10,000K LAMP SQUARE PIN BASE (W/ FANS)
This needs to be updated as we have changed thought of FOWLR to FOWLR and some mushrooms. Amazingly enough, my Anemone is doing extremely well. Unfortunately, the spot it finds cosy, is out of sight, behind the rocks. I have moved it a couple of times, but it keeps going back to the exact spot
Here are some more pics. Thank you all for the nice feedback.
have you ever thought of making one big sump/fuge in the middle and have both tanks drain into 1 sump?? definitly somthing to think about and yes im jealous... no matter how nice your tank is theres always someone with something u dont have

Animal Lover, I agree, it takes money but then again, so does any other hobby. We started with fresh water tanks, but after visiting the dark side of this forum on the SW tanks, FW looked very vanilla. The one thing I have learned in my (sometimes bitter experience) is to always buy the right equipment. You might get away with some cheaper stuff, but you'll end up buying again. You should see the amount of useless stuff I have in my basement, and have given away........
