Well I finally got a tank. I had to get something to put my Clowns and Flame tip in so I got a Red Sea Max. So far I have done the following to it. I took out all the media from under the 2 return pumps, I cut the black sponge in half, I added a Hydor Nano and a Hydor Flow (to one ofthe standard returns) for some random flow. I also added 2 more nice moon lights, 50lbsof live rock and 40 pounds of live sand.

Here are some picture... Fire away with questions:

Like I have always said the first split goes to Charlie, after that it's up for grabs, although it will never split if it doesn't stop moving all over the place...

Shane, very nice job on the tank. The clowns look great.

I thought the flametip was red with white tips? Maybe after some good lighting.

Wow, your LR and aquascape looks awesome! What kind of LR is that and where did you get it?

Seems like I remember seeing LR like that at Einstein's.

Looks great!~

Flame Tips and red with yellow tips. Charlie told me that this guy moved constantly while at his place and spent most of the time under and behind rocks, where he lost a lot of color. Charlie also said that when he got the FT is was much closer to the picture on the web site. I'm hopeing that he will decide to stay in the light and get some color back. I will say that when he deflates the yellow tips are extremly evident... now I just need to get the red to come back...

I "loved" the aquascaping as well, but unfortunately then the bluespot got sick (RIP) I had to completely destroy it to get him out... The new aquascape has a tiny bit less rock, but still looks good, I'll try to get some pics tomorrow. I forget what it is called, but I did get it at Einstein's... Nice stuff.

Color will come back. My rose was behind the rock for a while when I first got it and turned greenish/brown. Now he's up top and bright red/orange
