Well out with the old in with the new as they say. I set this up to move the corals i wanted to keep into, and to keep me company in college. The tank is one of those evolve 2 that you can buy at petsmart. Really a good little tank and pretty well thought out. I plan to plumb in a small sump and skimmer, or a gnome glass skimmer with an ato system depending on room arrangements.

Looking good. Where'd ya get the lakers? I've gotten two different frags from the same place with no luck!
 
I'm guessing it has something to do with the mother colony they chopped up. Only zoa/paly with any issues in either of my tanks.
 
I recognize a few different frags! :D Keep up the good work; that tank will look incredible once a few things start to grow out.

Yeah they split up that huge colony into quarters, ones in grow out under the coral tanks, ones for sale with roughly 400 polyps for 1500$, another is in that tank in the back and the last was split into frags

Yeah everything is doing great from you, aussie favia, acan and yuma are all taking mysis and enriched brine. Only bad thing to happen was the yuma stung the shit out of the 3rd head of the acan and it died, 2 heads left though. you can see the process of the third head getting stung throughout the pics haha. Ill be back this weekend for more!
 
Really gonna suck when I have break my tank down when I got to college next summer...

Like the idea of bringing a pico though ;)
