And Grandis, I appreciate your input.

I don't know much either my friend, so no worries. I used to concern myself with names more, but now it's more about what I like and what I wana attempt to grow. Name or "high end" no longer matter to me.

So maybe they are sunflowers, couldn't tell ya lol

I wasn't referring to a morph name "sunflowers". I meant I think they look like sunflowers!

I actually decided after two days that barebottom was not a good idea and I was putting a serious dent in my bio filtration. So I put some of it back. Besides, I have two fish that depend on the sand for shelter, and I could not keep them in my 20g with my new lobster, they would become lunch eventually, lol

Here is the red reef lobster in an acclimation box the other day upon introduction. Already been feeding him squid.

and so I got some filter gels from a photographer to work on my pic taking with my iPhone. I'm actually really happy with them, they work really well. First some more wide angle shots of a lot that you have seen already. Usually the pics are much more blue.

and an awesome 4 polyp frag I got of purple hornets from a buddy for cheap. 4 polyps and you can see where the mat is growing out on this side. Gonna try for some top downs soon.

most everything posted you all have seen recently. really just wanted to share the use of the new filter gels I got for my iphone camera. im pretty pleased with them and think they work quite well. if you have been following, you can see how much of a difference they make. super easy to use, and work quite well IMO.

Some blue hornets that are t showing well right now. Just put them in about 15 mins before this pic. Looked a lot better in previous tank. I'm sure they will come around just fine and show their colors more

Not the most popular morph, but with the one above, my collection needed some green, lol. And as green is one of my favorite colors, I added a nice small colony of these as well
