Ok, it has been ages since I have updated here ... mostly because interest in the tank swings from really interested to just keeping it going.
Recent additions have been 3 new yellow clown gobies from RCA. Lost one not too long ago for no apparent reason, other than he was pretty small and stuck against the overflow grating. The other two seem to be doing fine.
I did a minor re-scaping the other night. My toadstool has just gotten huge and have been trying to find a spot for him. I had moved it to near the bottom for the past few weeks, but it was not happy at all... no polyp extension. So I think I found a spot it likes, up closer to the light. I am starting to see little nubs of polyps about to sprout up.
I also moved my ricordias up off the sand, and they seem much, much happier.
You must excuse some of the pictures. Seems my photo taking skills got rusty, thus some are a but blurry or dark.

"Jr." sitting on his favorite coral.
Hi-fin goby with "snap" the pistol shrimp. That shrimp is probably the oldest moving creature alive in this tank. Got him pretty early on.
Happy ricordias.
The full tank shot. Please ignore the algae near the bottom... it is almost time for the weekly cleaning, and time to order new compact fluorescent bulbs.
