Awesome, looks very clean. What's up with the cup in the center of the tank?
First off thanks for the love.

The cup is a nice orange and purple rim ric with a neon green mouth. It wasn't attached to rubble when I got it, so I threw some peices of rubble in a shot glass to make sure the ric gets minimal flow while it attaches. It'll be gone hopefully within the next few days. I can see the foot attaching already.

A quick update with some new pics. The monti frag and clam are doing awesome, that means i'm finally doing something right!


So coral wise I have:

Torch
couple of frags of zoas
a frag of micros
a frag of Acans
frag of Orange Monti cap
two rics (one teal, one orange purple rim)

I know most of you have a very sharp eye for catching things and if i'm doing something wrong or something can be changed I welcome the advice.












Almost matched the live aquaria pic on this one.

Well since then i've added a neon green monti cap, a purple monti, purple/blueish rics with neon mouths, two more frags of zoas. And my most proud addition. A pair of baby Rods Onyx Clowns.

















Sorry went a little pic crazy, I was reading up on my camera. Figured out some things.

He sells them according to age and color. Picked up mine for around $100 bucks. They should turn mostly black like this clown below. These are tank raised Onyx clowns. You can get more info here:

Yep. You're in central IL? Where at exactly? You can probably just swing by rods and pick em up. Save on the shipping. With shipping you're lookin at close to $150.

And honestly looking back at those recent pics im amazed. The third stripe on the bigger one has fully come and the black in the middle of his middle two bars has now fully connected. Not to mention the little guy is also darkening up near his first and second bars! I'll try to get some pics up soon.
