you can go with those types of sites aswell but just remember they sell these live stock and on some they are mis labled like on a similar sire they posted that a regal is okay to keep in a 20g...... :o so, i would suggest either getting a couple of good books and cross referencing or looking on some info sites.

but that is just me

So far not much has changed. everyone still seems happy though my salinity was a tad low. The bag of reef crystals i have says it mixes to a salinity of 1.021, which it did but to me that seems a tad low so i did a water change last night and my water was 1.022-23 at the end of it, so i'm happy (lol).

I got the fuge from Gord but noticed a little drip that he is going to fix this weekend (you rock Beertech!). it measures just about 4 gallons and while i had it running it worked great! I can't wait to get it on full time!

I can see the red hair algae starting. i didnt have this last time i did a transfer, just got lots of cyano and then the brown algae, which cleared up on its own after a few weeks - 2 months. hopefully it will just be that again.

MAN there's alot of evaporation with an open top tank! i'm practically adding water every other day! I'll be looking into an RO unit sooner than later! (after i get my tunze 9002 skimmer)

I'll post up some pics once i get the fuge back on.

That is news to me, i didn't know Green star polyp was purple.
Did you happen to get that from Fishtail?
I was in there yesterday and saw GSP, they just received it and both me and the employee working then thought it must be purplestar polyp -cause it was labeled GSP :D

Ooooh silly noob mistakes, lol

I was surprised too, but if you look at some of the pics here
http://images.google.ca/images?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=green+star+polyp&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
you will see that the GSP has a very purple bse to it.
only the polyps are green.

Mine looked a bit like this one, the polyps are a little short just now.

i agree 100% i want to spend like $1200 on a new camera but my girlfriend is crazy and yeah plusssss i just had a baby and am setting up a 75, so camera is a little low on the list but on another note i will agree with pat 100000000% to be on reefcentral.com 24/7 it is endless amounts of knowledge. i live on that site and all i can say is go on it all the time and you will learn sooooooooooo much.

Hey Marc! The Corals and the new tank are really starting to look amazing! Of course its only going to look greater with time! :D *sigh* another great tank making me wish I could afford one of my own!  :-\ Cant wait to see what fish you decide to add!

I love my canon SLR but don't really have any fish to take pics of right now! LOL it is always the case if I had fish I wouldn't have the camera! LOL  :P
