After losing a bunch of livestock in a move, I quickly added a few pieces from some sps frags, lps & a bunch of filler softies to appease my appetite and give me something to look at for now!

Now that we are settled in, it looks like I have enough room to upgrade to a 120 (48x24x24) or more...had 2 of these before when I had my FW Stingrays, didnt realize back than what great reef tanks they would have made/lol! Anyways, for the time being I am sticking to the 40 breeder w/ a 20 gallon sump/fuge, it looks like my corals are getting better and more stable, w/ the exception of 2 goni's that have not recovered or adjusted well to the move. I am currently attempting to target feed 2x a day w/ the hope of bringing them back!

I know the 'Tang Police" are out...and I hope to make the upgrade soon! I am focusing on a custom setup (Jeff if your reading) to a 48" long, 24-30" depth, 20" high, unless I can find an unbelievable deal on MR

	Manhattan Reefs Manhattan Reefs, the best aquarium community on Planet Earth!

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.

	LPS Large Polyped Stony corals – In the aquarium hobby this is a common division of the species of stony corals based upon the visual assessment of the size of the polyps. Corals in this category were among the first stony corals to be kept successfully in captivity and include many very beautiful species. Commonly kept Genera include Euphyllia (hammer/frogspawn coral), Favia (brain coral), Plerogyra (bubble coral), Lobophyllia (meat/tooth coral), and Caulastrea (candycane coral). LPS corals also include the popular solitary non-colonial stony corals such as Fungia (plate coral), Cynarina (button coral), Trachyphyllia (open brain coral), and Herpolitha (tongue coral). Like their SPS counterparts, LPS corals require good water quality, intense lighting of the appropriate spectrum, adequate water movement and regular supplementation of calcium.

After overstocking my tank, I decided I wanted to see my fish more, so I went ahead and re-aquascaped (hopefully for the last time) to create more open space & caves. I utilized the worst unshapely/quality LR that I have had since I started this hobby a few months ago!!! But I think I'm comfortable w/ the way it looks, but know that it wil look even better when aged! I added an RBTA & a few SPS frags from reliable members!
