Well todays the day. I decided to not clean my glass on my tank and see how long I could do it. Well its been 3 months and I am sick of looking at my brown fish. So here is the last pic of my nasty little tank before I clean it tonight.

Nice Moorish Idol by the way!

Thanks! He double in size in just a few months. He was much smaller then both the butterfly and Puffer you see in the pic when I got him but he's just EXPLODED. Now he dwarfs them both.

Not even one year. He eats everything I can find at the seafood market, nori, and sponge that I collect. He's going in the new 220 gallon tank I set up. I hear it has some nice rockwork ;-)

Well it isn't TOO bad. It looks to be focused on the glass, so at least that's easy to clean! The rocks look pretty nice, actually. I've seen much worse XD.
