Some fish shots. My clowns who are always camera hogs would not cooperate and my yasha and firefish would have none of the photo shoot...

Learning a lot everyday
Coming from a complete newb when it comes to salt water, I read this whole thread, and was wondering how to tell when the tank is full? The corals are awesome looking, but seems like they are almost sitting on top of each other. Is that how they are supposed to be? Do you put new ones right on the sand? Or do you add more rocks to attach them to? Guess you can tell I know zip about this, but would like to know. Also, the blue lighting, do all SW tanks need it to grow?
Full? There is no such thing as full when it comes to a reef addict 
. ll kiddingaside, you are correct it has got a little crowded but if you ever see a fully grown out reef (mine isn't even close), you will see the corals growing right up next to or in some cases overlapping each other. Mine might actually get there one day if I could stop trading corals for new ones . The biggest issue one faces in a crowded reef is warfare. I have done my best to group corals in way that will hopefully limit warfare but there are no guarantees. Some corals may be perfectly fine living on top of each other while others might fight as soon as they sense the oncoming coral(s) growing into their space. Its just part of the hobby. The good news is, you can always frag the corals and let them regrow.
Lighting temperature is a matter of taste for the most part. The tank doesn't look nearly as blue in person (hard to photograph).

Along with "simple breeder" I'm guessing his camera is "camera phone I picked up with a throwaway I got from a Walgreens."
