yes phong it's a little crowded in there ;D

adolfo425 , thanks but it took me appx 2 1/2 years to finally get head out of my a$$ and figure out that the most important thing that made my corals thrive ....parameter stability....it did'nt matter how good a light system or how much flow i had without stable alk ,ph, salinity , calcium , i could'nt keep any coral alive for more than a few weeks. in other words ...take your time and add slowly , when your system is stable.good luck.
 
Maaaann Serg...your tank looks great...it looks like it went through alot since 05...you wern't playing around when you said you had no more room for any more Monti Caps! lol
 
i believe its a cucumber ...pink cucumber.....was supposed to clean glass or sift sand .....it did neither....just hung in the position forever......until one day i touched it and was hard as a rock.....tried to push it a tad and it just fell into sand bed ....lifeless.....i gave it a proper burial at sea ( or wherever flushed toilet water goes to).
 
a few more pics of stuff i have to grow out for future dbtc's :)
