I really enjoy it getting home and looking at it is relaxing girlfriend gets mad every now and then but oh well lol. And seen such great improvements on my frogspawn they seen much bigger than when I got it from the store now saving some money for the coralcon here in orlando ill most likely buy a galaxy torch and a white bubble coral
 
Well im waiting until coralcon because one of my local store told me they are selling everything much cheaper :D
 
Upgrades :
Lifted the lights so the splash from hub filter wont get in the lights and hopefully less salt on them. Soon going to add a sump or just a refugium or just grow copepods there still not sure would like it to be a sump to take the hub filter, skimmer and heater out of my dt but it is only a 10g tank so...

Looking good. Yea bubble coral is not too common around otown any more. there's not a following chasing them so the stores don't stock them. My best guess would be ocean direct. But they all get them in time to time. I wouldn't expect to many bubble corals at coral con. Again the low demand.
They also take a lot of real-estate.


Had one of those sand sifter gobies. There great. I miss mine. ( although I can now put corals on the sand :-) )

Not much just bought a pump for the return but still planning out the size of the pipe if I want it 1" or 3/4" and if both intake and out are the same size and the safety holes or air gap
 
Upgradess overflow now up and running and the return pump also. Using an air gap for protection on the return everything seems like its working great ill post more picts after work

Also right now my cleaner shrimp is missing hes been getting ready to shed the skin full of black spots all over and this morning we found the skin with antennas but havnt seen the cleaner shrimp. Idk if they ate him or what because I saw rhe transparent skin with antennas on the sand bed and hes no where to be seen unless he was able to hide in one of the caves my sand shifting made under the rocks not sure... heres a pict of the skin

looks good. shrimp will usually hide for a bit after they molt. My guess is that the shrimp will turn up
 
Display tank all cleaned up now looks nice and put the part where good bacteria stays from hub filter into sump maybe later on buy some rock for it and copepods so they reproduce for a future green manderin . No cleaner shrimp anywhere I really hope hes hiding because hes never hid before after shedding and I gave the fish some food and he didnt come out ... maybe when lights are off ill check again

Oct 10 2014 update my sand shifter might had jumped out lol cant find it anywhere . It will be missed same as the cleaner shrimp. so kinda decided that not to add anymore fishes for awhile even though i want a seahorse but my girlfriend says the clowns are gonna kill it. My clowns dont really eat frozen food they only like the pellets so because of food im not worried about just dont want the clowns killing the seahorses if we do ever get any
