Biff's 90 Gallon Downgrade

That's awesome, sarah! Very colorful. Are the ones in the pics you posted yesterday the same one that were stuck in the fedex warehouse? They look great!

No, the ones yesterday I got from a guy that was taking down his tank. The ones I got that were stuck in the Fedex facility were posted earlier.
 
I'm working on that right now, Donna. I just finished puttying the frags that I got yesterday in their permanent places, so my skimmer is going nuts and my tank is filled with microbubbles :(

So while I was waiting, I decided to take everything out from my stand (it's a disaster zone -- I try to avoid going in there at all costs) and reorganize it all.

The area inside my stand is filled with salt creep, dust bunnies, dirt, etc. So I go to vacuum it out. Well one of my critters apparently decided to chew through the vacuum cord. And NDB says he'll fix it when he gets home from work, so in the meantime I have to sit and wait with all my fish crap strewn around the living room because I don't want to put it back before I vacuum out the crap in there.

So FTS is coming up in a bit!! :D

Thank you! If one of our photography pros could chime in, that would help. Do my pictures seem washed out? My tank seems to lose its color when I take full tank shots (macros come out okay looking). How can I fix that?

With those two types of mushrooms, I actually started with just one of each that I got at a frag swap. They multiply like crazy and have taken over. I need to start controlling them -- I'd have a lot more space if half my rocks weren't covered in shrooms.
 
I love the way they look running down the slope like that. I went looking for hairy mushrooms today, only saw the fuzzy ones, so I got the frags in my post instead. That Wellsi is nutty! Nice pieces. As a beginner could I handle the wellsi and bubble algae?
 
Oh yeah! Blastos and bubble coral are some of the easiest LPS, IMO. Bubble corals are almost indestructible. Nothing in my tank is hard to keep (except maybe the two SPS frags, but those were given to me free so of course I didn't turn them down). I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to my tank, and I travel a lot for work, so I can't have anything that's going to croak every time the temperature drops, or I forget to feed them :)

Here is a picture of my other blastomussa wellsi. They are doing VERY WELL in my tank. I got them about 2 weeks ago, and I have already counted approximately 4 new babies on the backside of that rock that's jutting out to the upper left of the two big polyps.

Wow nice looking stuff you got for your tank. I was kinda hoping I would be able to post some new additions to my tank this weekend. My b-day was Friday but I didnt get anything for it. I spent a bunch of time with the kids this weekend so that was good but was hoping for something for my tank. :grumble:
 
Sarah, it looks wonderful. I'm so jealous of some of the palys! I'm going to Vegas at the end of the month, I think I'm going to have to swing out and steal some of those while you're at work!!!!!
