Ok, so I have all my live rock in there, all of my corals, and yes I couldn't wait so I added my least colorful gold crocea clam to be a guinea pig for the others. Time for some shots:

Full tank, I suck at these

Right side of tank

Left side of tank

And now some of my corals, any clarifycation on id's would be greatly appreciated. :) I suck at coral ID as you will see.


Montipora, it wasn't doing good at all in the big tank and this is one of the first corals to go into the 75g. It is starting to look much better now.
Image

Acropora millepora, this was the only acro I could get to live in the 120g. I have some micro bubbles getting into the tank from the skimmer wich is right above this coral so that is what you see floating arround in the turbulence.

Favites Brain???

You will see I also like Brain corals, probably to make up for my personal lack of Brain.

LOL Brain???
Image

LOL another brain?
Image

Chalice, Type unknown? Bright green with pinkish eyes, pos watermelon?
Image

Acan, this one was extremely bleached a month ago, looking as good as new now
Image


I have more corals than this but I suck at taking pic's so this is what you get for now. :lol:

Thanks eels,

The crocea has only been in there for about 2 hours now but seems fine.

Thanks Adrian,

Whatever the Acro is it is a trooper, it has been with me for a while now.

I covered the OR with as little live rock as possible so if it go's bad I can easily get to it.

One thing you can't really tell from the pic's is that there are two of the tonga branch rocks in the middle of the tank that are hanging way out of the rockwork. I plan on getting sps's to grow on these 8)

I need to figure out how to get better pic's of them to show what they look like.
