Well it's not an sps garden yet but oh the potential it has!
anyhoo, if you didn't already know i went through a bad crash with this tank in the beginnning of August. This week I basically changed out the sand, added new rocks that I already had cycled AND cooked, added 1/2 new salt and 1/2 old salt water. lotta work!

Anyhoo, not much going in here except:
SPS
Echinatas <--heard they colored up well unswe MH
Zoos (of course!)
RBTA <--possble?
Sexy Shrimp
Onyx Clowns <--won't come for a few months
and other stuff.

i'm planning on getting an rbta to put in the center right area, up against the wall of the LR. hopefully I'll be getting my onyx female 'Marge' from Rod's reef this month and i'm hoping to get a male for her once i find a suitable 'Homer' for her. The flat side of the LR would make a great place for them to spawn.
Anyhoo, i've added some shaving brush and caulerpa paspaloides (i got them from http://www.floridapets.com/) to the tank to give it sort of a planted feel. I'll post some fts later after i rearrange everything to make room for some zoos i picked up.
