Thanks for the kind words, Mark! - The mushrooms, lol!! That rock was part of the base structure in my old 75 and they all came with it! So far, they haven't spread, but probably will when conditions are just right. I'll deal with it then! - I've had those two damsels for a couple years and they are model citizens! - The Zoas... Again, these came over from my 75. They were all in one place, but the new aqua scape in this 150 has them in random places now. A little history: This is an upgrade from a packed 75 gal about 18 months ago. It went through a nasty "ugly" phase (Dino's, hair algae, cyano, you name it, I probably had it!). I lost all my SPS and less hardy yet colorful Zoanthids. It's really cleaned up in the last few months. I haven't had much luck with new SPS frags, but maybe now that it's getting stabilized, I'll try again. If you want more info go see my build thread, "Benapilot's SCA 150 Upgrade" on R2R.
It’s a BashSea Smart Series sump that was branded for Elos. I picked it up “used” from an aquarium service- slight cosmetic damage from shipping, Elos replaced his, I got the damaged one at a massive discount!

It looks like the tank is setup in the dining room.
