It's X-Mas TBS style!!!

[figuerres]

So I have been running my 90 for 2 years now w/o any new TBS critters / rock etc...

Well today is the day to update my stock and replace a few things I lost over time.

WOW!!! Richard never disapoints

Sponge: Yellow,Red, Orange

extra Inverts:
small SLipper Lobster
arrow crab
extra fish:
very small Tiger Goby -- hope he makes it! I have a 6 line wrase who can be evil to little guys, but I hope with the size of the tiger and the amount of space he will get by.

also some cukes, some macro alge.... some blue-leg hermits

hitch hikers: I saw a bright green mantis (small) in one of the rocks, I have not yet checked all of the rock.

ALSO I got the 3 volume set of the Paul Humann & Ned Deloach books, anyone want the 2 I have from before??

by the way I looked at the volume on corals, looks great!
in addition to the coral ID it also has Macro Alge, coral diseases, and some other info.

I will have to do some pictures but that may not show up till sunday.... lots of work to do aclimating and locating things....

well found 2 small shrimp, a deco crab, some worms and small dusters in the left over sediment.

I see a lot of small things that I will need time to ID.

a small anemonie or a coral-morphian.

I also see barnacles, buds of sponges, I think I see the "clear tubes" other have posted about, might be tunicates?

Your tank is absolutely GORGEOUS!! When I looked at your posted pictures I could see all of the hard work, care, and love that you have invested in your well-maintained tank.

How long have you had your SPS corals?

Thanks for the compliment!

for the last year I have been "trying" had some that I killed while learning

the current ones have now been -- uh 3 months ?
I think I am starting to get it right, they are much more picky than soft and LPS.
seems like water changes are the key, with the Gorgs, soft, and other stuff I could be very lazy and not do very many W/c
with SPS Seems like I have to be good about W/c and filter sock and skimmer cleaning to keep it going .....

RIght now I have 2-3 that I am not sure are going to make it,
but half or more of the ones I have look Good.
