I went to buy macro algae for the fuge today, but the store owner wouldn't sell it to us. AEFW all over it!
Here's the fuge, just rocks and miracle mud for now:

Not kedd reds or hells angels, can someone ID these for me?

The yellow ring zoas:

Can someone ID these too? I don't care much for the big pink palys, kind of ugly. I'm gonna separate them, then grow out the pink palys and sell them. I only really bought the frag for these beautiful yellow zoas.​
 
Bought some skunks :D
One of them seems to have a big white lump on the side, I didn't notice it at the store.
Well, we'll have to wait and see.
 
Update on tumor shrimp, the :bump: has greatly decreased in size :D

Update

Never mentioned it but I've been running activated carbon, in my battle against nitrates >_<

My symphyllia is looking beautiful!

Before:

After:

:whoo:
It's become so pink!
It's like it's a whole different coral!
I feed it mysis and new era coral pellets sometimes too.

Also, got julian's thing, should make my life easier :D
And a new thermometer, ViaAqua titanium heater

Thinking of upgrading the skimmer too in the future, my dad and I have noticed it's kinda junk, thinking of a reef octopus

Tomorrow I'll be getting some algae for the sump, get some natural filtration going.
It was covered in planaria, so the store owner wouldn't sell it to us before. He told us he'd dip it multiple times.
 
have a FTS?

Probably the only FTS I have worth showing, I need to get a higher resolution camera :lol: Took it right now:

Looking good!! Love the zoas!! :)
Thanks! I think I'm really getting my zoa garden together, I have one more spot to fill up, and then just let it grow :D
Sadly the nice new red ones fell off the plug, so I need to glue them to something new :sigh:
