Hey guys/gals:

Just thought I would share my new tank. It is a Red Sea Max 130D...It is right at 2 months old...I transferred what I could out of a smaller tank and is why this tank looks so good for being so young.

The live-stock consits of:
1) Ghost Ribbon eel (eats really really good...Ribbon eels tend to be really hard to get to eat)
2) Snowflake eel (has tripled in size in the last 5 months)
3) Bi color blenny (have had it for over a year)
4) Maroon clownfish (have had it for over a year)
5) Dwarf Hawkfish
6) (2) clown gobies
7) Orange Angler Frogfish---has not eaten any of the livestock yet....It almost got a clown goby a few weeks ago...I filmed it, but he missed. It was quite exciting...Is that bad?
8) Flounder

Corals:
1) Xenia
2) Red mushrooms
3) Purplish-greenish mushrooms
4) scolymia
5) assortied zoos
6) Acan (purple/green color)
7) Blastomussa (my favorite coral of all...I had a mother colony before my last tank crashed and lost everything)
8) Bubble anemone
9) montipora
9) elephants ear
10) Kenya tree

In my other tank I have:
1) Dwarf lionfish
2) Chainlink eel
3) Starry blenny

I removed all more corals from that tank to my main little by little...Pictures are being posted below:

Kind of like a "mild" predator tank. Keep up the great work!

And I just came back from vacation after being gone for 4 days and my xenia totally moved off its original rock to a one up higher closer to more water flow...it actually moved more than what I thought it could in that time frame...I never had any of more corals move that quickly before.....Also, should my scoly be sitting down lower? Possibly on the sand bed? It doesnt have a lot of color, and it really never has had a ton of color. I dont know if it would help the color of it by moving it further away from the light.

Ya....I guess you could call it a mild pred tank...The most aggressive fish would be the hawk...He is always the first to catch any live prey I put in the tank...and he is super fast and greedy...It might be bad, but the eels are used to being hand fed. At least they eat.
