Here is the latest update in aquarium news. The plate coral has died, probably due to the relocation of the rock and the amount of light it was getting. But since then, the Colt coral i got from my brother has split in half, and has grown about twice as big. the cleaner shrimp have mysteriously vanished, and I got another clownfish for the other one to play with, since he looked lonely. Also got a few frags of pulsing xenia, a blue mushroom, and a piece of bright green coral. not sure what kind it is, but ill find out. I have also started another miniature 5gal salt tank for in my computer room. took some of the live rock from the big tank and put it in there to help it cycle, and also put one of the frags of colt coral in there, as well as a peppermint shrimp. everything is going good in it so far, we will see how it does in the room. the lighting for the small 5 gal is 3 t5 flourescent lights 2 white and 1 actinic. I think i might get together with my friend and build a custom hood for that one as well, not sure yet. I will post some updateed pictures of the tank as soon as I have a chance.
