The pyramid butterflies are quite reef safe and easy to keep. They went through a phase where they were picking at my paleys but they don't seem to be doing it anymore. I agree they certainly add to the tank. As for how many, I assume you were referring to the picture a few pages back in the thread where their reflections made it look like twice as many. I have 4 of them and introduced them all together back in early June by water acclimation and then just dumped them into the mix.

Lets see what we can do about that. ;)

I am almost positive that Gregs tank is on the radar. From my understanding, whenever a new tank is set up, the staff always wants to see how it looks down the road ;) This prevents someone just setting up a tank, going out and buying alot of corals, getting TOTM and then the tank goes downhill 3 months after the article.

But what do I know....

Last time I was on the radar I got a speeding ticket.:lolspin:
I'd consider myself fortunate to even be on their radar, they have so many awesome tanks on RC to choose from.:eek1:
 
Your aquarium is incredible - It' show pure passion and dedication to reefkeeping. I just started keeping SPS and regardless of my experience I know in time you always learn the small things that make a hugh difference. I am still trying to figure out the best placement and flow. what is the best way to aquascape without using epoxy? You should be given TOTM already. unless you've won already...
