fts updates???

Here are a few FTS's that I took 1 hour ago. Yes, I know there's a lot of hair algae, but in the beginning ALL the rocks was covered in 4 inches of hair algae, as you can see, its going away. :dance: (Sorry for the crappy quality, it was the best I could do in the middle of the day, its impossible to take a good FTS in the middle of the day when the Metal Halides are on.)

Front.

Back.

Thanks!! Well, I started out when I was 12 and a half years old, was slowly upgrading to a 28 gallon, trading and buy expensive corals and once they grew out, I fragged and sold and was slowly saving up, and now, at last, I had enough money and found a super sweet deal for the 180 gallon. Also, I spent all my Christmas and birthday money on the tanks.

Thanks!! Yup, I plan on adding a lot more livestock, just look at how empty it looks, hardly any corals.

I got an update! I ordered some coral frags! :dance: I ordered: 1 frag of Elkhorn (Montipora hirsuta), 1 frag of Matchstick Anacropora puertogalerae, 1 frag of Patriot Acropora, 1 frag of Blue Ridge, and 1 frag of Spaghetti Leather making it 5 frags total. They will be at my house on September 15th.

Here are a few pictures that I took today!

Blue-Green Chromis

Brown-Eared Surgeonfish (Acanthurus gahhm or Acanthurus nigricauda) flashing away. She looks AMAZING when she flashes! Pictures don't do her any justice(sp?)!

And my favorite picture!!
