Okay, so, it's been about 3-3 and a half months since i started this tank.

Sponges in first chamber, Bioballs in second, pump/heater in the third
4 Scarlet Hermit Crabs

Now, i've moved on abit, and this is what we're looking at:

Currently:
16 Pounds liverock
One percula clownfish
One Firefish
3 Astrea Snails
3 Scarlet Hermit crabs

Filter:
1st chamber sponges (Cleaned once weekly with old SW)
2nd chamber, 2.5 pounds Liverock rubble
3rd chamber: Chaeto, stock pump, heater off (For now..Ocne winter comes, heater goes back in)

2 Zoanthids colonies (Each colony 10-13 polps)

Two mushrooms on one snail shell :p
The bigger one to the left is relaly quite something. A mixture of reds and greens (Though the greens don't show up too well on the camera)

Pretty much the same pic as the first..But, take a look at the nice, large red/pink mushroom towards the top of the tank. Like a dang flower :p

On the bottom-leftish area, you can see a white, what looks to be dead, colony of coral .In fact, there's about seven polyps of brown star coral showing up. As compared to about the other ten, white dead ones. Also, in the righter-area you can see my blue-brown colony of Zoanthids....
Oh, and i call this pic. peekaboo. That dang firefish :p

My colony of green Zoanthids..And a showcase of that wonderful Cyano-problem i'm starting to have...


So, yeah...
A bit of Cyano-problem, but, a little buit of advice/critisism/etc is always appreciated.

Thanks!
