And so much fun in the process! However, I will be poor for the next 6 months!

This weekend's trip to the LFS $180 on food, long handle tool, 3 fish, 1 Eel (for my daughters 55), one coral.

This is all so much fun & has certainly been a labor of love! All my livestock is doing very well after the move. I completed my "fish" list for the tank, and will just add corals from this point. Still need to do some work with the flow, change some powerheads around & I need to re-build the tank top so I can access it from the front & not on a chair from the top

Also mowed down some xenia & put the BTA's in the bottom corner. The 2 percs have been hanging in that corner together & I am hoping they will go for the BTA's over the toadstool. The smaller perc is giving it some serious consideration!

Nice. I love the blue mushroom.

I've never bought corals or fish online because I have a SW only LFS. So I am not familiar with all the "online" websites. Recently, I was directed to the PNWMAS website and a poster told me about Totally Exotic Corals. They only sell online and just happen to be 5 blocks away from me! This is run by 2 guys working from their homes. So, I got in touch with Keith and he allowed me & my daughter to come & look at his corals last Saturday. The other partner, Jody was putting in new tanks so we couldn't see his stock (will do this next payday.) Keith was very helpful, their corals are beautiful & healthy, and the prices are awesome compared to what my LFS charges. I bought a Fox Coral and a Hammer Coral for my tank, and a Fox & Ricordia for my daughter.

I need to do some aqua-scaping for the Hammer & can't get a decent picture

Its a Pink hammer about 8" long. At night, with the blue moonlight on, it glows green. It's mad at me in this picture, I moved it

My new Fox Coral is about 7"
