Here are the few pictures of my tank sorry I don't have any from when I started but I lost my camera charger on vacation so here are pictures from the last week.
My corals are 4 mixed ricordea frags, a devils finger leather frag. red mushrooms, teal striped mushrooms, a rose SPS with clove polyps around the base, a small frogspawm green with pink tips, a Grape coral which is a type of frogspawn, a fox coral, and my newest additon is a bright teal brain. I also have a really brite yellow sponge that is growing pretty fast.
As far as fish I have 2 clowns, a royal grammas, a pepermint shimp, and an emerald crab + misc hermit crabs and snails. I plan on getting a lawnmower blenny, and a small flame hawk fish.
If anyone wants to see any close ups of my corals let me know ill post more pictures. Oh and thanks for looking, and any input.

Looks good, what is/was the green stuff in the last picture? And personally I wouldn't get a flame hawkfish yet. What kind of equipment do you use lights etc.?

Almost forgot, doesn't the clove polyps disturb the encrusting of the SPS?

Its either a lobo or trach, not sure.

The green stuf was chaeto algea that grew from no where I took the rock to my LFS so his fish would eat the algea off then I deceded My tank looks better without it.
The sps is attached to a rock the clove polyps grow around the rock they dont seem to want to grow on the coral.

Oh and my lights are a 150 watt HQI metal halide with an odessea 15k bulb and 2 14Watt t5 acintics, no moon lights. My coral loves it so does my algea win/lose But I only changed the light from stock a month ago so Im hopping the algea will subside.
