NexDog,
Awesome set up you got there. How far are you from Okinawa?
I have family that resides there and thinking of visiting there.

grallster - I guess we'll have to see how it goes....
hawaiianwargod, thanks for dropping in. I live at the bottom of Kyushu which is about as far south as you can go in mainland Japan. Okinawa is about another 800 miles south of here. Went there once - it's beautiful.

By the way, this UV thing is fantastic. Even though I did a 100% water change teh water still had a haze. I hooked up the UV to an MJ 900 last night and this morning the water is crystal clear. It says to run 700gph through it but I onlly have powerheads or bigger pumps and I think that less flow through the steriliser will clear things up quicker.
Thanks grallster.
Well, it's Good News Bad News time....
The Good News is that I went away for 3 days leaving the tanks in the care of my father-in-law and there were no major disasters.
The Bad News is that upon my return one of my 6 Lyretails anthias in QT died. Its stomach has some red blotches so I'm guessing some kind of internal parasite there. I wish I could get a definitive answer on where to get some medication for that online........ 
The Good News is that my new Halides and dual ballast arrived. The halides arrived before I went away and teh ballast was waiting for me when I got back today. When I got back the dodgy side of teh dual ballast had totally burned out (or whatever) and wouldn't light the lamp at all. Anyhow, I hooked it up and hey presto, let there be light.
The Bad News is that my digital video camera took a tumble off a roller-coaster and was smashed to pieces.
So I prolly won't update this thread so much until I get a new camera which might not be for quite some time as pictures tell most of the story.

Can I get a positive ID on this:
Is it just a mushroom? That image is from the shop's site but I got one with my order of softies the other week and couldn't get a good pic of it.
Tomorrow I'll be receiving a small shipment. Three LPS (frogspawn, anchor and something else), one SPS and also some cyclop-eeze that I have yet to use so looking forward to that. Also some phytoplankton. Here are some pics off the site:
Frogspawn:
Anchor:
What is this? Some kind of bubble?
And one SPS which I hope will pink up:

I believe it is Cynaria lacrimalis. Nice anchor by the way. Did I suggest that SPS? 
It should turn out to be really nice (it is Acropora millepora if you were wondering).

Thanks guys. They should be here any minute.
Spiffman, yep, one of your choices. - millepora, cool. Actually from that list you made a few weeks back there was only a few left - corals there go fast. Thanks for the ID on the mystery LPS. Is that top one a standard shroom?
