Got bored and posted this on a different club forum, figured id post here too
(looking for GARF bonsai if anyones got it)
cali tort
candy apples pinks
raptor rainbows
tubbs birdnest (colored up since i purchased it and already began growing a new branch : D ) plan to cut the nub off the bottom and glue it soon
jokers that suck at opening and also some grandis paly i like that grows like a weed
new pom pom crab : D (picture from 5 gallon) her nems are much bigger now, and she has a huge egg sack
I also have flat worms : ( i cant figure out a good solution, its not worth the risk to me to use flatworm exit, I want to get a sixline but im worried for my sexy shrimp.
the tank started october of 2008 while attending sonoma state university.
It has been moved home for christmas back to school and then home for summer. It survived a week and a half with me attending to it once during spring break and also had a poweroutage of 12 hours at that time. Its a resilient little bastard haha

Plans
I recently bought a birdsnest coral because i had tried both soft corals as well as lps corals, After a week the coral had already gained better color as well as show signs of growth. I felt due to my early success of this coral i would go for a more challenging coral in an acropora. I bought a cali tort acro today from the same reefer that sold me the birdsnest.
I plan to buy maybe 1-2 more frags possibly a millipora and another acro (more expensive one though)
Id really like to get an encrusting montipora however i dont really have much rock so a monti would take over the tank so i might just get a small frag for cheap and try and see if it will grow on my sand bed with empty frag discs next to it.
I also plan to buy at least 1 more expensive chalice (miami hurricane is really cool to me or possibly pink boobie)
All sps will be kept on the rocks and most if not all soft coral will be kept on the sand unless i decide to let things just grow on its own will all over the rock im not really sure yet
