The Green Star Polyps are quite a weed. If the rock is close to the glass, they will grow on the glass. Since the rock they came on is full they are sending out new matting in all directions, and will soon be all over the neighboring rocks. :x :x

It actually looks worse than in real life. It is the camera's way of looking at things. There is more light on the right side because that is where the pendant hangs. The left side is supplemented with a 32W PC smartllamp. I am not willing to put my old 175W MH pendant on the left, because of the increased electrical costs. I am just going this way for awhile to see how my softies like it. :D :D

The 50 has been up only about a month, but it is an outgrowth of earlier tanks. In other words I moved the contents of earlier tanks into this one. The lighting on the refugium is a screw in 15W 6500K PC bulb.

Everything really looks at home in your tank. Now I am really itching to get a bigger tank.
