I had a small Yellow Tang that ate up all my Dragon's Breath. I tried to supplement it with seaweed, but he just didn't like it and ended up starving to death.

Wow, its been over 6 months since I've don't an update on my 40 Breeder. Well, after having my reef tank up for a little less than 3 years, I needed to make some changes. I am happy that my tank is where I want it, but for some reason, I just wasn't enjoying it like I thought I would. Maybe because I'm not on the constant hunt for new corals or maybe its just reef keeping fatigue. I new I had to make some type of change, in order to keep my saltwater interest up. So I finally decided to partition about half my 40 Breeder to house a few pairs of designer clownfish. If you look, I have another thread about keeping 5-6 different clowns all together, but that was a disaster. Poor clowns.
Oh, before I forget, I was able to pickup (2) WWW Bounce mushroom's which I'll post when I get pictures of them.
Here are a few pictures of my pairs of Bali Picasso's, Bali Nebula's and a Clownfish USA Magento Picasso.

I haven't taken any pictures of my other corals, except some shrooms. I've gotten rid of alot of corals so I can convert half the tank to house clownfish.
How about these?
Jawbreaker mushroom
WWC Bounce
How about a little colony shot of my Jawbreakers? I'm in the process of getting an Avast top down port, so I can take better pictures. Right now, my pictures stink.

Boy this 40 Breeder build sure has been an adventure.
I sold off all my corals and fish late April. For the next 5+ months, my aquarium only had 1 Bali Nebula clownfish a few hermit crabs and a gang of algae. I hardly ever turned my lights on, didn't do any water changes, just topped off my RO and fed the clown. That was all the involvement I had with the aquarium.
Well, after looking at my box full of algae, I decided to get back into reefing. I scrubbed off majority of the algae on my rocks, purchased and Flame Angelfish and re scaped my rocks.
Here is how the 40 Breeder looked on October 26, 2015.

Fortunately, I didn't have to cycle my tank. It was pretty much a FOWLR for the past 5+ months. So I visited a lfs, purchased a few corals and fish (McCosker's Flasher Wrasse, Green Chromis & Blenny).
I'm sure glad I have something a little nice to look at.

Thanks Rev. I'm glad to get back into reefing. The thing is, all my free time is consumed with hunting for new corals. LOL.

Photos taken on November 4, 2015.
Ok, so at one point in time, I owned a few Jawbreaker and WWC Bounce mushrooms. When I decided to get back into reefing, I told myself that I would not purchase any expensive corals. Well, that idea went out the window very shortly.
I started hunting on various forums and FB groups for the Jawbreaker and WWC Bounce mushrooms. Well, I was able to purchase these two beauties.

WWC Bounce
Here are photos from the reefers I purchased them from (not my pictures)

My thirst for Jawbreaker's didn't stop after my first purchase. So, I searched again and found a reefer who was selling a few from his stock. Below is a picture the reefer sent me to choose from.
I decided on a beautiful Jawbreaker that also had a baby attached. This mother Jawbreaker was about 2-2.5". She arrived on 2 Boston Aqua Farms 1.5" frag discs.
Here is a stock photo of her (photo credit to the reefer I purchased it from)
Here is a photo of her when she arrived, fresh from opening the package, she was stretched out while acclimating.

I received another order of Jawbreaker mushroom's. With this order, I was very happy. Most, if not all averaged about 2-2.5" when fully opened. I kept these on the frag rack for a few days, before I decided to glue them onto my rockscape.

I received a beautiful Red Devil type mushroom. When the coral arrived, it had a dark scarlet colored base with these teal colored dots.
And here is a Bounce shroom I received from a vendor here on R2R.
Quick little group photo.
