Her 20 (pics)

As promised here are the new pics. We did not really get any new corals for the 20g at MACNA. We got some nice neon green clove that is coming out, just now fully out yet. However, our big score was four bangaii cardinals. They are all tank raised and doing very well so far. Originally I bought two of them, when the fiancee went over she decided she wanted the third as an insurance policy and they gave us the fourth because it has a gill deformity. So far they are all hanging out together, though it looks like two are trying to pair off. The flamback angel is letting them know he rules the bottom half of the tank, but other than that he leaves them alone. So here are some pics:
Four of the together:
Two under the blues:
We will be changing bulbs out tomorrow so I will try and post some pics then. If not we will try again in a few weeks after the marriage and honeymoon.

One of the vendors at MACNA had them in their frag tank, he got them from a customer who breeds them. I don't remember the vendor, would have to look at a floor plan. He said if he knew the demand for cardinals he could have brought a 100 of them. Found the website of the vendor:

Unfortunately this will probably be one of the last updates we do on this tank as it will be broken down into our 57 gallon when we set it up in about a month. The 20g will not go down without a fight though and we have some new updates. We started with a "tester" acan frag I bought off of a fellow reefer that has been doing amazing so we bought two new frags. They both come form reef to reptile, and one has some nice rainbow colors in it. Our snails also decided to "draw" some nice patterns on our glass with their eggs. They really cool thing is they will not go over top of them. One actually picked his foot up the whole time is crawled over it. We also added some fire shrimp.

Fire shrimp (you can really see how scratched this tank is and why we needed to upgrade):

We recently bought a piece of live rock because it had some feather dusters on it and put it in the 20g. That night when the actinics went on we saw Christmas tree worms sticking out on the other side. We have since put them up top to see them better.

Wanted to show some of the growth on our acro frag. It isn't a ton, but it works for us:

So we made some new purchases and here they are (Disclaimer got a new phone and still playing with the camera feature)
Rainbow acan from motepora, my pic does it no justice
